NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares climbed more than 2% in trading on Monday. The move followed reports that the company is planning to raise at least $20 billion through an investment-grade bond offering.
According to media reports citing sources familiar with the matter, NVIDIA intends to issue bonds across seven tranches, with maturities ranging from two to thirty years. The price guidance for the longest-dated tranche is reportedly around 90 basis points over the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield.
Wall Street investment banks have projected that corporate bond financing for companies involved in the AI arms race could reach $1.5 trillion over the next five years. NVIDIA's return to the debt market after a five-year hiatus serves as the latest indicator of the significant financing wave among tech giants and signals that this high-stakes investment trend is poised to continue escalating.
