11月3日：Meta Platforms周二表示，正通过五部分美元债券发行筹集150亿美元，这家Facebook母公司转向债务市场，以帮助为加速的人工智能基础设施投资提供资金。
Nov 3 : Meta Platforms said on Tuesday it is raising $15 billion through a five-part US dollar bond offering, as the Facebook parent turns to debt markets to help finance accelerating investments in AI infrastructure.
此次发行增加了与AI相关的融资浪潮，因为各公司正在为数据中心、算力和云扩张寻求资本，尽管它们历史上一直依靠强劲的现金余额来资助增长。
The offering adds to a wave of AI-related fundraising as companies seek capital for data centers, computing capacity and cloud expansion, despite historically relying on strong cash balances to fund growth.
根据一份监管文件，此次发行包括32.5亿美元于2031年到期、票面利率5.85%的票据，以及另外32.5亿美元于2033年到期、票面利率6.25%的票据。
It comprises $3.25 billion of notes due in 2031 carrying a 5.85 per cent coupon and another $3.25 billion due in 2033 at 6.25 per cent, according to a regulatory filing.
Meta此前曾在4月进行250亿美元投资级债券发行，去年进行300亿美元发行，凸显了其日益增加地使用外部融资为长期AI投资提供资金。
Meta previously tapped debt markets with a $25 billion investment-grade bond sale in April and a $30 billion offering last year, underscoring its growing use of external financing to fund long-term AI investments.
此次债务发行发生在Meta扩大股权融资计划数日后，该计划规模可能达到975亿美元，凸显了该公司为AI基础设施寻求资金的规模。Meta表示，预计今年资本支出为1350亿至1450亿美元，主要由AI投资驱动。
The debt sale comes days after Meta expanded plans for what could become a $97.5 billion equity raise, highlighting the scale of funding the company is seeking for AI infrastructure. Meta has said it expects capital expenditure of $135 billion-$145 billion this year, largely driven by AI investments.
穆迪给予新债务Aa3评级，称预计Meta将保持审慎的财务政策和净现金正头寸，尽管AI支出不断上升。
Moody's assigned the new debt an Aa3 rating, saying it expects Meta to maintain conservative financial policies and a positive net cash position despite rising AI spending.
根据LSEG汇编的数据，截至9月30日，Meta的总债务为836.7亿美元。
Meta's total debt stood at $83.67 billion, as of September 30, according to data compiled by LSEG.
