One trillion dollars. That is the size of the corporate debt wall coming due each year from 2026 through 2028. Wednesday's Fed decision just changed how that wall gets refinanced. The rate itself matters less than the guidance embedded in the statement. What CFOs and treasurers do over the next two weeks will determine how much of the next three years' refinancing gets locked in before conditions shift again. Three moves worth considering before Monday. Model refinancing timing against covenant flexibility. Every issuer's ability to move early depends on the specific call provisions and make-whole terms embedded in existing bonds. For issuers with maturities in the first half of 2027 whose covenants allow economically viable early refinancing, Wednesday's statement is the input that decides whether October pricing beats waiting. Reassess hedging on variable-rate exposure. Companies carrying floating-rate debt or projected borrowing needs into 2027 should model the Fed's implied path against their existing swaps. Wednesday's statement gave the market a new reference point for that path. Existing hedges written against the old reference point need review. Review capex approval thresholds. Projects with returns marginal at the current cost of capital are the ones most sensitive to a policy shift. If Wednesday's statement made the Fed's next 12 months more uncertain, the hurdle rate on new capex should reflect that uncertainty. The projects most exposed are typically the ones with the loudest internal advocates. Wednesday was a rate decision. The next two weeks are the strategy decisions. The best time to act on a Fed statement is the week after it lands. Follow for more on capital markets and CFO strategy. #CorporateFinance #Fed #CFO
