Qualcomm sells four billion dollars of notes in five tranches
Qualcomm sold 4 billion dollars of senior notes across five maturities from 2028 to 2036, at coupons between 5.000 and 5.800 percent, in a registered offering underwritten by five banks.
Why it matters: The sale adds a full curve of term debt at coupons above 5 percent, a marker for what large investment grade technology issuers now pay to extend maturities.
