Top Credit Ratings from Three Major Agencies, Reserving Ammunition for Expansion

This massive bond issuance plan is expected to complete final pricing on Tuesday. Notably, as one of the world's largest tech giants by market capitalization, Amazon's robust balance sheet has earned high recognition from the three international credit rating agencies. Currently, Moody's has given it an A1 rating, S&P an AA rating, and Fitch an AA- rating, indicating the bonds have extremely high investment safety and are expected to attract significant purchases from pension funds and institutional investors seeking stable returns.

Although the official announcement only states that the raised funds will be used for "general corporate purposes," including daily operations, strategic investments, or debt management, in the current race among tech companies to invest heavily in AI data centers and cloud infrastructure, this $25 billion cash flow will undoubtedly provide the strongest backing for Amazon's future capital expansion.
