Meta plans to issue $25 billion in debt to back AI: In 2026, capital expenditures are set to reach $145 billion
Meta completed the issuance of $25 billion across six tranches on 4/30, with maturities extending to 2066. The initial yield was about 180 basis points higher than U.S. Treasuries, with subscriptions of around $96 billion but lower than the previous round. At the same time, it raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $125–$145 billion. The founders also admitted there is still no detailed, item-by-item AI product plan. After the earnings report, the stock price fell 7%, suggesting the market still doubts whether the AI investment can “monetize.” If ROI remains unclear, the risk is twofold: an upcoming debt issuance wave from tech giants over the next 12 months and the widening of credit spreads.

Huawei AI chips projected to grow 60% to 12 billion: capturing NVIDIA China orders
Huawei expects AI chip revenue to reach $12B in 2026, up 60% from $7.5B in 2025. The main reason is that Ascend 950PR will enter mass production in March 2026 and steadily secure most orders, while 950DT is expected to be launched in Q4. Customers include DeepSeek, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud. 950PR uses the 7nm SMIC process, as the U.S. export controls prevent use of 5nm/3nm. This growth indicates China’s market position and the impact of export controls, with NVIDIA’s China market share potentially being eroded. Things to watch next include actual shipments, process supply, and changes in controls.
