Microsoft plans $25B bond sale to fund AI-driven infrastructure expansion

Microsoft announced it will raise $25 billion through bond sales to support its infrastructure growth, especially for AI projects with partners like Anthropic and OpenAI. The company benefits from a strong AAA credit rating and aims to use proceeds for general corporate needs including capital expenditures and debt repayment. This move aligns with other tech giants tapping debt markets amid rising interest rates. Microsoft remains financially strong with positive free cash flow, unlike some peers, and plans to close the bond offering by November 4.

Microsoft shares trade at USD 527.46 on Pluang as of Oct 30, 2026 07:51 WIB, close to its 52-week high of USD 543.45 but well above the 52-week low of USD 352.83. Despite a slight 0.67% drop in one day, the stock remains near the top of its annual range, reflecting investor confidence amid its $25 billion debt raise for AI expansion. The market shows more selling interest with 73% of orders to sell versus 27% to buy, indicating some caution despite the company's strong credit rating and cash flow.
