Tech debt spreads hit two-decade high

Spreads on technology sector debt have reached their highest level relative to other investment-grade bonds since 2003. This marks an intensification of premium demands amid growing investor nervousness about the total amount of AI-related capital expenditures.

Lisa Abramowicz, journalist and co-host at Bloomberg TV/Radio, reported the comparison in a recent post.

Abramowicz has previously reported that yields on the lowest-rated corporate bonds have risen to their highest levels since 2022. In another recent article, she covered Microsoft's decision to offer buyouts to 60,000 employees amid ongoing business growth. Both developments come as investors reassess risk and business strategies in the current environment.
