Apple plans bond sale of about $7 billion
Apple is planning to raise about $7 billion through a bond sale in the United States.
The company’s proposed offering has seven parts, with bonds due from 2028 to 2036, including notes with fixed and floating interest rates.
Apple says it could use the money for general business purposes, including share buybacks, dividends and repaying debt.
The company has not said how much would go to any one purpose or whether it will refinance specific debts.
Apple reported $136.9 billion in cash and investments at the end of fiscal 2026, so the proposed borrowing is not described as a response to an immediate funding need.
It also reported record September-quarter revenue of $114.5 billion and $28 billion in operating cash flow.
The sale’s final size and interest rates remain unsettled, and the sources give no date for when those details will be decided.
Apple is seeking about $7 billion through a bond offering, according to reports, though the final amount has not been set.
A preliminary prospectus filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5 outlines seven series of bonds.
The notes are due between 2028 and 2036 and include two floating-rate and five fixed-rate offerings.
Apple says it plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases, dividends and debt repayment.
Investors had placed orders totaling around $31 billion, according to Bloomberg News as reported by 9to5Mac.
