← Ideas · Themes

Delta Air Lines intensified debt reduction with $2.1 billion in payments during H1 2026, enabled by refinancings at lower interest rates, while AZZ extended and repriced its revolving credit facility with reduced interest rate tiers. Both companies are actively reducing leverage and interest expense, suggesting management teams view the current rate environment as an opportunity to strengthen balance sheets ahead of potential economic softening.
