Alphabet announces initial price guidance for HKD and SGD bond offerings

Alphabet set initial price guidance for its first dollar‑denominated bond sales in Hong Kong and Singapore. The 2028‑2036 Hong Kong dollar notes are priced between 4.60% and 5.50%, while the 2028‑2056 Singapore dollar notes range from 2.75% to 4.00%. The offerings, coordinated by HSBC and JPMorgan, target at least $2.2 billion in proceeds and are rated Aa2 by Moody’s and AA+ by S&P. Settlement is expected on 19 November.

The $2.2 billion raise will add to Alphabet’s cash reserves and may improve its liquidity profile, while the pricing sets a benchmark for future corporate debt in Asian markets.
