Alphabet issues first Australian dollar bonds
Alphabet has issued its first Australian dollar bond worth 5.5 billion AUD (3.89 billion USD) to finance its investments in artificial intelligence. The bonds have maturities ranging from 3 to 20 years, with a fixed return of 6.9% for the longest-term tranche. This move is part of a broader trend among global technology companies to increase their funding through capital markets, despite the substantial expected expenditure on AI—which is projected to exceed $730 billion this year—leading to a negative impact on cash flows.
