M&T Bank hits record SBA 7(a) lending, ranks fifth nationally as market softens; $5B buyback approved

M&T Bank reported record SBA 7(a) loan volume and dollar amounts in its history. It ranked first in fiscal year 2026 by number of loans across its communities and rose to fifth nationally among SBA 7(a) lenders. The result comes as national SBA 7(a) activity pulled back. It marks 18 consecutive years as a leading SBA lender for the bank. On March 30, the board authorised share repurchases of up to $5,000 million. Management intends to run a CET1 ratio toward the lower end of the 10% to 10.5% range. Risks remain, including funding costs, deposit mix, and high noninterest expenses.

Constellation Brands secures $300M delayed draw term loan for corporate flexibility

Constellation Brands has entered into a new term loan credit agreement worth up to $300 million with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and other lenders. The delayed draw facility, established on 18 September 2026, will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential debt repayment. The two-year term loans carry interest linked to Term SOFR or a base rate with rating-based margins. Unused commitments will incur a ticking fee beginning 30 days after closing. The agreement includes covenants that mirror the company's existing revolving credit facility. These impose limits on subsidiary indebtedness, liens, mergers, affiliate transactions, and sale-leasebacks, whilst requiring minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage ratios. The structure is designed to reinforce Constellation Brands' financial flexibility and balance-sheet management.
