Bristow Group ( (VTOL) ) has shared an update.

On January 26, 2026, Bristow Group Inc. completed a private offering of $500 million in 6.750% senior secured notes due 2033, guaranteed by key subsidiaries and secured against helicopters and other assets, while also amending and extending its asset‑based revolving credit facility to 2031 with reduced commitments of $70 million and lower pricing but an option to increase total commitments to $105 million. A portion of the note proceeds was used to redeem in full Bristow’s outstanding 6.875% senior secured notes due 2028, satisfying and discharging the related indenture and releasing associated liens, a refinancing that extends the company’s debt maturity profile, lowers the cost and complexity of its capital structure and supports a stronger liquidity position for its global aviation operations, with remaining proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes.

The most recent analyst rating on (VTOL) stock is a Buy with a $60.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bristow Group stock, see the VTOL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on VTOL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VTOL is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by solid overall financial performance (profitability and manageable leverage) but held back by weak free-cash-flow conversion. Technicals are supportive with an uptrend and positive momentum, while valuation looks attractive at a low P/E. Guidance on the earnings call reinforces a positive growth outlook for 2026, and the refinancing initiative is modestly supportive but carries execution risk.
