Madison WI Midwest regulated utility (NASDAQ: LNT) at $3.04 EPS (2024); 1,500 MW solar + 1,800 MW wind completed, coal exit by 2040, new CEO Lisa Barton (Jan 2024), DOE loan commitment for grid resilience competing with WEC Energy.
Alliant Energy Corporation is a Madison, Wisconsin-based regulated electric and natural gas utility — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: LNT) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 1 million electric customers and 430,000 natural gas customers in Iowa and Wisconsin through two regulated subsidiaries: Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL, Iowa) and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL, Wisconsin), through approximately 3,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Alliant Energy reported ongoing earnings per share of $3.04 (up from $2.82 in 2023), meeting analyst expectations, with 2025 guidance affirmed at $3.15-$3.25 per share. CEO Lisa Barton assumed leadership in January 2024, initiating the next phase of Alliant's clean energy transition strategy. The company completed 1,500 megawatts of solar generation investments in 2024, supplementing its existing 1,800 MW wind portfolio to accelerate the retirement of coal-fired generation — with plans to cease coal operations at Wisconsin facilities before 2030 and eliminate coal from the entire fleet by 2040, targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Alliant's foundation traces to 1917 through predecessor utility companies serving the Upper Midwest. The US Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office issued a conditional commitment to Alliant for loan support to improve grid resilience in Iowa and Wisconsin, enabling investment in transmission and distribution modernization that supports renewable energy integration and grid reliability under increasing extreme weather events.
Oklahoma City multi-basin oil & gas E&P (NYSE: DVN) ~$14B revenue; Permian Delaware Basin + Williston Bakken (Grayson Mill $5B acquisition), fixed+variable dividend pioneer, $1B FCF improvement plan competing with ConocoPhillips.
Devon Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based oil and natural gas exploration and production company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: DVN) as an S&P 500 Energy component — operating primarily in the Permian Basin (Delaware Basin, Texas and New Mexico), Anadarko Basin (Oklahoma), Eagle Ford (South Texas), Powder River Basin (Wyoming), and Williston Basin (North Dakota), with approximately 1,700 employees producing approximately 750,000-800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Devon announced a comprehensive business optimization plan targeting $1 billion in annual pre-tax free cash flow improvements by year-end 2026, focusing on improving margins and capital efficiency across operations — including well productivity optimization, overhead cost reduction, and marketing contract improvements. Devon acquired Grayson Mill Energy (a Williston Basin Bakken shale operator) in 2024 for approximately $5 billion in cash and stock, adding high-quality Williston Basin production that complements Devon's existing Permian Basin core position. Devon pioneered the "fixed plus variable dividend" model in the E&P sector — paying a base quarterly dividend plus a variable dividend linked to free cash flow generation each quarter — a capital return structure that has since been adopted by numerous E&P companies as a shareholder-friendly alternative to buybacks-only programs.
