Azul S.A. Stock (AZULQ) Before the Dec. 26, 2025 Market Open: Latest News, Share Offering Details, Dilution Risk, and What to Watch

Azul S.A. heads into the Friday, December 26, 2025 session with its equity story dominated by restructuring mechanics, not day-to-day flight demand.

Reuters For U.S.-based traders, the setup is even more complex because Azul’s U.S. listing changed in 2025: the company’s NYSE-traded ADSs were suspended and delisting proceedings began after the Chapter 11 filing, pushing the stock into an environment

US-China Chip Tariffs: Trump Administration Delays New Semiconductor Duties to June 2027 After Section 301 Probe, Testing the Trump–Xi Trade Truce
