Amazon.com Inc. has announced its first U.S. dollar bond sale since 2022, with plans to raise $15 billion. The proceeds from this significant debt offering are earmarked for capital investments in the company's rapidly growing artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure through Amazon Web Services (AWS). The move is seen as part of a broader industry trend where major technology companies are tapping into the bond markets to finance expensive expansions in data centers and AI capabilities. The announcement was made through a regulatory filing on November 19, 2025. Initial market reaction saw Amazon's stock experience a slight dip, which some analysts attribute to investor caution regarding the increased leverage and the large scale of the planned investments. However, demand for the bonds was reportedly strong, with peak orders reaching approximately $80 billion, indicating robust investor confidence in the company's long-term strategy in the AI and cloud sectors.
