AI's impact on tech companies' finance
The growth of artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the financial practices of major technology companies, leading them to increasingly rely on borrowing rather than solely on their substantial revenues and profits to fund their investments. Since late 2025, these companies have begun issuing billions of dollars in debt to finance the development of data centers, purchase of chips, and expansion of their technological infrastructure to capitalize on AI technologies. The volume of debt instruments linked to this industry has surged to approximately $450 billion since the beginning of 2026. This phase is considered extraordinary due to the size and rapidity of the debt issuance, including long-term bonds such as 100-year bonds aimed at funding massive investments. Some experts express concerns over the heightened financial risks and the potential impact on the credit ratings of these companies, although it is expected that a significant portion of the funding will still come from operational cash flows. Nonetheless, the increasing reliance on borrowing could threaten company stability if the anticipated AI revolution fails to meet expectations.
