  • Alphabet flags AI risks as it taps debt market for AI buildout
    February 9, 2026, 8:50 PM EST. Alphabet added AI-related risks to its annual report, including potential impact on advertising and risks from large, long-duration AI infrastructure contracts. The company plans a $20 billion US-dollar bond sale across four tranches, including a 100-year deal in sterling; the issue is reportedly five times oversubscribed. This follows a $25 billion issue in November and a rise in long-term debt to about $46.5 billion in 2025. CFO Anat Ashkenazi said investments would be done responsibly to keep a healthy balance sheet. CEO Sundar Pichai cited compute capacity as the chief risk, noting constraints on power, land and supply chains. Alphabet, along with peers, is expanding capex to fund AI, with 60%+ increases expected this year.
