Meta is preparing a cross-border investment-grade bond sale in U.S. dollars and euros to help finance its artificial intelligence infrastructure spending. The company has asked Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to arrange investor calls, and the offering could include dollar bonds in five parts and euro notes in six, though its size has not been disclosed. The sale will test investor appetite as concerns grow about the scale of AI investment; S&P recently revised Meta’s credit outlook to negative, citing uncertainty about the company’s ability to monetize AI.
