Arcos Dorados Holdings ( (ARCO) ) has shared an update.
On February 2, 2026, Arcos Dorados announced a capital structure optimization following a financing move completed in December 2025, when its Brazilian subsidiary secured $150 million in new bank debt maturing in 2029. Using derivative instruments to manage interest rate and currency risk, the company effectively reduced the new borrowing’s estimated U.S. dollar cost to 2.53% and plans to use the proceeds to fund a tender offer of up to $150 million of its 6.125% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029. If the tender offer, announced on January 30, 2026, is fully accepted, Arcos Dorados expects to cut the average U.S. dollar cost of its long-term debt by about 55 basis points without materially changing debt maturity, foreign currency exposure or net leverage, reinforcing its strategy to support growth of the McDonald’s brand across its 21 markets while maintaining an efficient, sustainability-linked funding profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (ARCO) stock is a Buy with a $9.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Arcos Dorados Holdings stock, see the ARCO Stock Forecast page.
