Insights

Corporate credit analyst

Amazon adds long-dated fixed-rate debt across six note series totaling $14.961B in offering price.

Amazon.com, Inc. has executed a sizable multi-tranche bond issuance, with coupons ranging from 3.900% on notes due 2028 to 5.550% on notes due 2065. This structure spreads refinancing risk across maturities from 2028 through 2065 and locks in fixed rates over a long horizon.

The aggregate public offering price is disclosed as $14.961 billion, with estimated net proceeds of approximately $14.926 billion after underwriting discounts and before expenses. The notes were issued under an existing indenture, now administered by Computershare Trust Company, National Association as successor trustee, which indicates these are part of Amazon’s ongoing senior debt program rather than a new capital structure.

The underwriting syndicate is led by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC under an agreement dated November 17, 2025. Future periodic filings can provide further context on how this additional debt fits into Amazon’s broader leverage, interest expense, and capital allocation profile.
