Update: Market Chatter: Amazon Commences Six-Part High-Grade US Dollar Bond Sale

BY MT Newswires | CORPORATE | 11/17/25 01:15 PM EST

01:15 PM EST, 11/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updated with Amazon's (AMZN) response to a request for comment in the third paragraph.)

Amazon.com (AMZN) has commenced a US dollar corporate bond sale in as many as six parts, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The tech giant is looking to raise about $12 billion from the sale, which is its first such offering in about three years, according to the report.

"Like all companies, we regularly evaluate our operating plan and make financing decisions -- like entering into a credit agreement or issuing bonds -- accordingly," an Amazon (AMZN) spokesperson told MT Newswires via email. "The proceeds from this issuance will be used to support business investments, fund future capital expenditures, and repay upcoming debt maturities."

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.
