Technology companies have issued approximately $250 billion in bonds tied to artificial intelligence initiatives, surpassing analyst forecasts for borrowing volume. The surge in issuance has weighed on prices in the corporate bond market as investors absorb the supply. Major tech firms with substantial cash reserves are choosing to fund AI infrastructure through debt rather than internal resources.
Our analysts note the elegant symmetry: companies sitting on hundreds of billions in cash are borrowing hundreds of billions more to build the thing that will supposedly make money obsolete. The market's appetite for 'AI' labeled paper remains undiminished by the minor detail that nobody has yet proven the return on investment exceeds the coupon. Investors are effectively funding a very expensive science experiment with a yield attached.
