9:32Now PlayingJason Greenblath, senior portfolio manager at American Century Investments, said that 'the pipes are flowing' for debt sales, as Amazon's bond sale drove the US corporate bond market to its largest single day on record.
Amazon.com Inc. has raised $37 billion from a US dollar bond sale that, combined with a planned euro sale, could swell to nearly $50 billion.
The blockbuster fundraising is the fourth-largest US corporate bond sale on record and the biggest that isn’t tied to an acquisition. The offering was increased from initial guidance of $25 billion to $30 billion.
Amazon sold US high-grade debt in 11 tranches, ranging from two to 50 years. The yield on the longest portion of that offering — a note maturing in 2076 — is 1.3 percentage point above Treasuries, according to a person familiar with the transaction.
The US portion of the deal has drawn about $126 billion of orders, one of the largest books ever for a corporate offering, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
