What happened
Goldman Sachs published market analysis on September 22, 2026, detailing trends in the corporate credit market. The market has split, with bonds from AI-related firms facing caution, while those from traditional financial and industrial companies are popular. Gross debt issuance from hyperscalers is expected to reach a record US$420 billion next year, representing a 60 percent increase from 2026 estimates. Overall U.S. corporate issuance was up 30 percent year-over-year to US$1.9 trillion through August.

Why it matters
The high volume and unpredictability of borrowing required to finance data centers and AI infrastructure are causing investors to become highly selective regarding hyperscaler debt. This trend is prompting bond market participants to demand generous concessions on new deals.
