Amazon is planning a large bond sale, targeting between $37 billion and $42 billion to fund its artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion. The offering includes bonds in both dollars and euros and is structured in as many as 11 tranches.
This issuance is part of a broader trend of massive debt offerings by major cloud computing firms, or hyperscalers, to finance hundreds of billions in AI and cloud infrastructure investments. Investor demand for high-grade corporate debt from these technology leaders remains strong due to their solid credit profiles and key role in the AI sector.
Other tech giants like Alphabet and Oracle have also recently pursued or announced significant debt raises for similar infrastructure purposes. Amazon's last U.S. bond sale was a $15 billion offering in November.
