WS #16848
Meta priced its first-ever euro bond at €3.5 billion, drawing a record €53 billion in orders with a 15x demand-to-cover ratio. This massive issuance underscores the company's strong balance sheet and investor confidence in its AI-driven growth trajectory, particularly the Hyperion data center expansion. The deal highlights the deep liquidity available for high-quality tech debt even as Treasury supply increases. SpaceX has selected Qualcomm to provide DragonWing cellular infrastructure platforms to support Starlink Mobile's nationwide 5G network. This partnership accelerates the convergence of satellite and terrestrial connectivity, positioning Qualcomm as a key beneficiary of SpaceX's expansion. The deal underscores the strategic importance of integrated connectivity solutions in the evolving telecom landscape. Uber reported better-than-expected Q3 revenue but missed Q4 earnings estimates, citing tighter driver supply and higher fuel costs overseas. The company's 20% bookings growth was strong, but the forward-looking guidance highlights operational challenges in a tightening labor market and the impact of the Middle East conflict on global mobility. This mixed result tempers enthusiasm for the gig economy sector.
