科技公司正在翻箱倒柜地寻找资金，以支撑AI建设。知情人士向Semafor透露，Meta正准备发行一笔大规模债券，其中包括其首次欧元借款，规模高达150亿美元；而Alphabet已完成今年第二笔欧元债券交易。
Tech companies are turning over the couch cushions in their hunt for money to fund the AI buildout. Meta is prepping a big bond offering that includes its first-ever euro borrowing for up to $15 billion, people familiar with the matter tell Semafor, while Alphabet closed its second euro deal of the year.
这些已耗尽美国市场融资渠道的科技巨头，正转向其他资金池。Alphabet今年发行了其首笔英镑债券——一种罕见的“百年债”，到期日为2126年——同时还开发了瑞士和日本债务市场。对大多数公司而言，拓宽融资渠道是一次“试水”举措，旨在确保在需要时能获得多元化资金；而对当下的超大规模数据中心运营商来说，这种环球奔走式的广泛融资，对于支撑其股价的AI建设至关重要。—— Ellen DiMauro
The tech giants that have run through US markets are now turning to other pools of capital. Alphabet this year issued its first-ever British sterling bond — a rare “century bond” that comes due in 2126 — along with deals that tapped Swiss and Japanese debt markets. For most companies, broadening lender bases is a test-the-pipes exercise to ensure that diverse funding is available if it’s needed. For hyperscalers today, it’s a globe-trotting bush-beating that’s crucial to funding the AI buildout that’s propping up their stock prices. — Ellen DiMauro
