Amazon is returning to the U.S. bond market to fund AI infrastructure, offering
eight investment-grade benchmark dollar tranches with maturities from three
years to 40 years, the longest due 2066. The longest tranche's initial price
guidance is about 145 bps over U.S. Treasuries. The deal is expected to raise at
least $25 billion; BARCLAYS, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and MORGAN STANLEY are
bookrunners. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, potentially
including debt repayment, acquisitions and capital expenditure. The transaction
is the latest in a wave of large cloud and tech issuers tapping debt markets for
AI build-out; order books have been several times oversubscribed so far.
