Valuing Alliant Energy stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Alliant Energy's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Alliant Energy's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Alliant Energy shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Alliant Energy's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.4779. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Alliant Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Alliant Energy's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Alliant Energy's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 68.57% of net profits
Recently Alliant Energy has paid out, on average, around 68.57% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.5% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Alliant Energy shareholders could enjoy a 3.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alliant Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $1.838 per share.
Alliant Energy's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Alliant Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 14 May 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Alliant Energy's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 May 2016. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alliant Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alliant Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Alliant Energy's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Alliant Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.8707 up to $56.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Alliant Energy's is 0.555. This would suggest that Alliant Energy's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
