Apple Inc. has initiated its first corporate bond sale in two years, planning to issue investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated notes in up to four parts. The offering aims to raise approximately $4.5 billion, marking a notable return to the bond market since 2023. The bond sale includes multiple maturities and is part of a broader trend, with other companies such as Builders FirstSource launching a $500 million senior notes offering due 2035, UBS filing for 11-year USD notes, Starbucks preparing a three-part issuance with 3-, 5-, and 10-year notes, Biogen filing for a two-part senior notes offering, and Bank of America filing for a three-part USD-denominated issuance. Following the bond announcement, Apple’s stock price experienced a decline, falling below $200 to around $198, with technical indicators suggesting potential further downside. Market participants noted a bounce near the average volume weighted average price (AVWAP) from April lows at approximately $197.25, which is considered a key support level. Apple’s return to the bond market reflects renewed corporate debt issuance activity among major U.S. companies.
