Market Chatter: Blackstone-Backed QTS Launches Bond Sale Amid Data Center Buildout

BY MT Newswires | TREASURY | 04/06/26 10:08 AM EDT

10:08 AM EDT, 04/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Blackstone-backed (BX) QTS has launched the sale of a 10-year investment-grade green bond amid the company's data center buildout in Fayetteville, Georgia, Bloomberg said Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Initial price talk for the bond is a spread of about 1.625 percentage points over US Treasuries, the person said, according to the news outlet.

Moody's Ratings, the credit rating agency of Moody's (MCO), gave the offering a credit score of Baa2 and said that the proceeds will be used for refinancing credit facilities tied to the data center project, Bloomberg reported.

Blackstone, QTS did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

All Fixed Income News

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.
