Alphabet is lining up its first-ever bond sales in Hong Kong dollars and Singapore dollars, with HSBC and JPMorgan named as joint global coordinators, according to media reports. The Hong Kong-dollar tranche, which hinges on market conditions, would include notes with maturities of two and five years, with ten-year paper a possibility.
The move extends a busy financing stretch for the Google parent. On November 5, Alphabet closed a EUR 6 billion senior notes offering, confirmed in a mandatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. That placement was split across seven tranches with maturities running from 2028 to 2045 — and unlike the planned Asian issues, it is already done and dusted.
Wyoming Site Purchase Follows $17 Billion Pledge
Infrastructure spending is running on a parallel track. Crusoe said Google acquired a site in southeastern Wyoming from the company on November 6; financial terms were not disclosed. The purchase came just a day after Alphabet announced a $17 billion investment in the project.
On the regulatory front, Google agreed yesterday to additional privacy conditions covering its planned purchase of business data from bankrupt Spirit Airlines. The revised proposal carries a $10 million price tag, per media reports, and still needs insolvency court approval. The amended terms exclude health and medical information from the deal and require an independent review — meaning the data acquisition is not yet over the line despite the added safeguards.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Alphabet?
Waymo faces its own review. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation on Monday into a recall covering 2,895 vehicles in operation. Regulators are examining whether a software fix actually resolved the problem of cars passing stopped school buses. The probe targets the effectiveness of the remedy; the agency has not reached any finding by opening the case.
Gemini 4 Carbon and New TPU Systems
Google also launched Gemini 4 Carbon yesterday for developers, enterprises, scientists and consumers, billing it as its strongest model yet for cybersecurity capabilities and long-running, autonomous AI workflows. Two days earlier, it announced two additional eighth-generation TPU systems, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, which the company says broaden its lineup for training and running AI models.
The company’s AI push is spilling into partnerships and healthcare. Adobe and Google said yesterday they are widening their alliance: Adobe tools will be woven into Google Workspace, Gemini and the AI mode of Google Search, while Google’s AI models will run inside Adobe applications including Acrobat, Firefly and Photoshop. No financial terms were disclosed. Separately, Google Cloud unveiled a preview of Gemini for healthcare, an AI platform that links clinical and administrative workflows with controlled access to each organization’s data, aimed at healthcare providers.
