According to data compiled by the organization, Alphabet (GOOG.O) is expected to launch an $80 billion equity financing for the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure, which is expected to become the largest equity capital market transaction in history. The shares issued in this joint offering (including common stock, preferred stock, and mandatorily convertible preferred shares) are expected to be priced later on Tuesday. The size of this offering will exceed the approximately $70 billion common and preferred stock offering conducted by Petrobras in 2010. The largest single transaction in this offering by Google's parent company is a $40 billion "market issuance" plan, which is expected to begin in the third quarter. This type of issuance allows the company to periodically sell shares to the market without announcement but must disclose the amount raised regularly in regulatory filings.
