Meta seeks at least $25 billion from bond sale, Bloomberg reports

Oct 30 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms Inc (META) is targeting at least $25 billion in a bond sale, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Fixed-income news service IFR said the parent of Facebook and Instagram has filed for a six-part bond sale without disclosing a size, and was marketing bonds with maturities ranging from five to 40 years.

Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are leading the offering, IFR reported.

The longest-dated notes are being offered at around 1.4 percentage points over comparable U.S. Treasuries, Bloomberg News said.

Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Meta on Wednesday forecast "notably larger" capital expenses next year due to investments in artificial intelligence and data centres. The company also reported third-quarter revenue growth of 26% that beat market estimates, but that jump was outpaced by a 32% increase in costs.

Meta last tapped the bond market in 2022 with a $10 billion sale.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
