According to Goldman Sachs credit traders and strategists, artificial intelligence-related companies' $75 billion debt issuance over the past month has pushed the investment-grade corporate bond market toward a breaking point, with the firm's AI debt spread index widening 22 basis points in a single week. The six largest AI infrastructure providers—Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Oracle, Nvidia, and SpaceX—have issued approximately $244 billion in global corporate debt year-to-date in 2026, more than doubling the $108 billion issued in 2025 and surpassing 2024 levels by over 14 times. Goldman's credit strategists warn that market absorption capacity is rapidly deteriorating, with only $25 billion in new supply now sufficient to trigger passive selling pressure, down sharply from the $75 billion threshold a month ago. Individual issuers show strain: Alphabet's 10-year bond spreads widened 12 basis points and Meta's rose 16 basis points last week, compared to just 2 basis points for the broader investment-grade index.
