Frequently asked questions
What is Allete Inc's revenue?
Allete Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.50B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ALE?
In its most recent fiscal year, ALE ran a gross margin of 32.49%, an operating margin of 10.47%, and a net margin of 11.72%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ALE generate?
ALE produced $102.20M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ALE's balance sheet healthy?
ALE holds $52.70M in cash and equivalents against $1.70B in long-term debt, on $2.85B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
