An announcement from Downer EDI Limited ( (AU:DOW) ) is now available.

Downer EDI Limited has raised A$400 million through a seven-year Medium Term Note issue priced at 6.488% under its A$1.25 billion Debt Issuance Programme, following strong demand from domestic and international fixed income investors. The deal, led by Westpac, Mizuho Securities Asia and MUFG Securities Asia, is expected to settle on 28 April 2026.

Proceeds will extend the group’s average debt maturity to about four years as at 30 June 2026, diversify its funding base and refinance A$500 million of maturing notes, reflecting improved balance sheet strength and reduced committed debt needs. Management said the robust take-up from both existing and new lenders underlines confidence in Downer’s BBB (Stable) credit profile and supports the company’s ability to fund its infrastructure services pipeline across Australia and New Zealand.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:DOW) stock is a Buy with a A$8.65 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Downer EDI Limited stock, see the AU:DOW Stock Forecast page.
