Equinix Prices $1.5 Billion in Two-Tranche Senior Notes via Asia and Europe Financing Subsidiaries (4.400% 2031 & 4.700% 2033)
Equinix tapped debt markets for $1.5B across two tranches (Baa1/BBB+/BBB+ stable across all three agencies) to fund ongoing data-centre capex. The tight BBB+ ratings and stable outlooks confirm investment-grade access remains intact, but the ~$18.6B existing debt load means incremental borrowing is credit-relevant for the AI infrastructure REIT sector.

Amazon Raises $25 Billion in Eight-Part Bond Sale to Fund AI Capex; Demand Peaked at $62 Billion but Faded to 1.6x Cover
Amazon's $25B eight-tranche deal (3–40yr maturities) is the company's largest single bond sale and pushes its 2026 gross issuance past $89B. The cooling of oversubscription from early 2026 deals (demand settled at only 1.6x vs multiples seen in prior deals) signals early signs of investor fatigue in the AI-capex bond wave, a key credit-market stress indicator for hyperscaler debt.

Six AI-Focused Tech Giants Have Issued $182 Billion in Investment-Grade Bonds in 2026, a 1,300% Surge vs. Same Period Last Year, Accounting for ~15% of All US Corporate Bond Issuance
The aggregate credit-market stress framing is the most timely (published July 17): tech now represents a record 20% of US IG issuance per Dealogic, and the simultaneous flood of AI-capex bonds alongside record US Treasury supply is compressing the global pool of available capital. Investors are demanding greater spread compensation, directly raising the cost of future data-centre financing for all issuers on the watchlist.
