Summary
Amazon is returning to the bond market with plans to borrow $25 billion or more to fund its AI infrastructure buildout. This follows a broader trend among Big Tech companies, including Alphabet's $85 billion stock sale (its first since 2005) and Meta's off-balance-sheet data center investments, as these cash-rich giants find their internal cash flows insufficient to cover massive AI-related capital expenditures.
