What happened
On September 10, 2026, Dell Technologies raised $5 billion in an investment-grade bond sale, riding the surge in revenue from AI servers (per Bloomberg reporting cited by Insider Monkey). Investors placed up to $23 billion in orders, nearly five times the deal size and above the annual investment-grade average of four times. Dell's subsidiaries closed the $5 billion public offering of senior unsecured notes on September 15, 2026, with staggered maturities in 2029, 2031, 2033 and 2037 and coupons ranging from 5.100% to 5.900%. Dell said it plans to use the proceeds primarily to refinance existing near-term debt maturing in 2026 and for general corporate purposes.
