Amazon, Microsoft, Meta And Google Debt Drags Global Bond Gauges

Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta issued $121 billion in bonds in 2025, four times their prior yearly pace.

  • Amazon's March 2026 sale raised 14.5 billion euros, the largest euro corporate bond on record.
  • Cover ratios fell from five times oversubscribed in February to two times by July.
  • Tech borrowers now outweigh banks in several major investment-grade credit indices for the first time.

Why it matters: A benchmark built to spread risk now carries the fortunes of four companies betting on one technology.
