Meta Platforms Inc.Meta is a leader in the $182B AI debt spree, and its CDS spreads have more than doubled since 2025, indicating deteriorating credit quality and higher financing costs.
テクノロジー大手は2026年に入り、人工知能インフラ向け資金調達のため、投資適格債を過去最高の1820億ドル発行した。前年比1300%超の急増で、年初来の米社債発行総額の約15%を占める。メタ・プラットフォームズ、エヌビディア、アマゾン、アルファベット、オラクル、スペースXが主導するこの借り入れ急増を受け、債券投資家の間でリスクの再評価が急速に進んだ。オラクル、アマゾン、グーグル、マイクロソフトの5年物クレジット・デフォルト・スワップのスプレッドは約75ベーシスポイントに上昇し、少なくとも7年ぶりの高水準に迫っている。オラクルを除く同グループのスプレッドは約49ベーシスポイントに上昇し、少なくとも2018年以降で最高となり、いずれの指標も2025年初めから2倍以上に拡大し、2022年の弱気相場のピークを大きく上回っている。この急速な乖離は、これらの企業が健全なバランスシートよりもコンピュートインフラを優先する中で、債券投資家がビッグテックの信用リスクに対するより大きな保護を求める構造的変化を反映しており、クレジット市場のダイナミクスを根本的に変えつつある。
