Cardinal Infrastructure Group's construction subsidiary, Cardinal Civil Contracting, has secured a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility and expanded its revolving credit line from $75 million to $100 million through a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement with Truist Bank. The delayed draw facility can be accessed in up to five separate advances over 18 months from the 10 September 2026 effective date. The amendment requires the borrower to maintain a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 1.60 to 1.0 and Consolidated EBITDA of at least $125 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2026. The expanded credit capacity provides Cardinal Infrastructure significant liquidity for potential acquisitions, project investments, or operational needs.

KeyCorp shares fall 6.6% after Q2 results, OFG Bancorp rises 5.4%

KeyCorp reported second-quarter revenues of $1.96 billion, up 6.7% year-on-year, meeting analyst expectations. However, the regional bank missed net interest income estimates. The market reacted negatively, with shares falling 6.6% following the results to trade at $21.78. The 94 regional banks tracked reported mixed second-quarter results. As a group, revenues were in line with analyst consensus estimates. Regional bank stocks have declined on average 1.7% since their latest earnings announcements. OFG Bancorp emerged as the best performer, reporting revenues of $190.3 million, up 4.4% year-on-year and beating expectations by 3.9%. The Puerto Rico-focused bank beat both earnings per share and net interest income estimates. Its shares rose 5.4% post-results to $52.71. Regional banks face challenges from fintech competition, deposit outflows, and commercial real estate exposure.
