Analysis · AZUL · Energy & Transportation
Azul has locked in up to R$2.66 billion in long-term financing from Brazil's development bank BNDES under the FNAC program, drawing R$1.3 billion immediately. This materially strengthens liquidity at a critical time — the company reported a 55% drop in 2Q26 EBITDA in August and recently registered resale of nearly all its outstanding shares by selling stockholders. The financing also refinances R$400 million of higher-cost debt, improving the liability profile. The remaining R$1.3 billion is expected in 4Q26, providing a visible liquidity runway.
