Alphabet Plans $3 Billion Bond Sale in Hong Kong and Singapore Dollars
Alphabet plans to raise about $3 billion through its first bond sales denominated in Hong Kong and Singapore dollars, targeting HKD 8 billion and SGD 1.5 billion respectively. The bonds, arranged by major banks including HSBC, JPMorgan, and regional lenders, will have maturities ranging from two to 30 years. Initial price guidance and credit ratings from Moody's and S&P have been set, with settlement expected in November. This move supports Alphabet's increased spending on AI infrastructure amid recent market volatility.
