Goldman Sachs strategists say AI-linked debt issuance has already reached about $500B in 2026, with hyperscalers accounting for roughly $194B — nearly double the $108B in investment-grade issuance the group produced in all of 2025. Goldman projects AI-linked debt to top $750B by year-end and approach $1.2T in 2027, with issuance now spreading from USD into euro and Canadian dollar markets.
