IT News on November 5th: According to Bloomberg, Apple has entered the investment-grade bond market for the first time in over a year, joining the ranks of other major American tech companies that have recently issued bonds in large quantities.

According to an informed source, Apple plans to issue benchmark-sized bonds in 7 tranches this time, with maturities ranging from 2 to 10 years. The source added that for the bonds with the longest maturity, the preliminary price guidance is 0.8 percentage points higher than the yield of U.S. Treasury bonds.
Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase will be responsible for this bond issuance transaction.
The funds raised from this financing will be used for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases, dividend distributions, and capital expenditures.
Apple's last bond issuance was in May 2025, when the company raised $4.5 billion (Note from IT: The current exchange rate is approximately 30.084 billion RMB) by issuing bonds in four tranches.
