The credit market may have already become satisfied with record borrowing by data centers, but tech companies are not stopping.

The company's head analyst for investment-grade trading, Jeff Eason, expects that most of the issuances may be short-termaround three to five yearsto match the lifespan of the chips, with some potentially issued in the form of 144A private placements; this could become one of the largest new areas in investment-grade credit, with an influx of supply that may reshape investment-grade credit portfolios.
