In 100 years? if Google is still a dominant company by then it won't be a good thing
Vienda carro 3 por siento
Gas ebalua un miyon 125 dolare por casa
Google is not a bottleneck nor does it have castle moat
Tech companies never last long, won’t even with the advent of AI and quantum tech
The £1 billion ($1.37 billion), 100-year bond attracted nearly 10 times the demand in orders, signaling strong investor appetite despite the long maturity. Alphabet’s 100-year (century) bond, issued in February 2026, was successfully sold and heavily oversubscribed.
It is around 6.1%, so i am thinking about it, i am 49 now, so with major health issues, my kids will be very happy. (This information will also be good for the people asking about the coupon rate 6.125
Google should open an office in Vietnam.
If rates drop later, they basically won. Grassfeld’s interest-rate sensitivity view suddenly feels like more than a nerdy feature.
didnt even know they could do bonds like that
i legit had no idea about bonds before this
Google surpasing the federal government. Who cooked this up. Was smoking something special
just buy Bitcoin then and you will be beter off in 100 years
Yahoo failed on this video just like how it failed 20 years ago.
They have a backup. Google spy for the US government.
How many companies from 1926 are still around vs those that have gone the way of dino.
China: Hold my Sichuan😂!
How can a company that's not even a hundred years old sell a bond that's a hundred years?????
So Google is officially acting as a sovereign state now and not even trying to hide it anymore. More at 11
Insane. Who will buy this nonsense?
Fascinating that yahoo is reporting on this. This would be like watching a commercial for McDonald’s brought to you by Burger King.
I am curious who would buy 100 year bond
Only a complete moron would buy these lmfao
0 chance this has positive yields against inflation, even in the unlikely event it reaches maturity
So a 6% coupon, that feels like a poor return if held to maturity, credit rating could change a lot over a 100 years
Less than 1% of companies last beyond 100 years, correct?
Yahoo couldn't wait to speak on the subject
Google replaced Yahoo. Will Google be replaced in the future?
Begun, feudal days have.
Oracle is doomed now under OPEN AI

😊
100 year bond is like your grand grand son/daughter will be able to cash it out. What a bunch of BS.
Ill be dead by then lol
I'm sure those who thought this up aren't worrying about the consequences of this later on. They'll let the next generation deal with it.
“Rates are historically low”
What rates is he talking about???
Guy didn’t even say what the coupon on the bond was lolllll
Decouple from the dollar and perceived health of US economy. Alphabet has assets equivalent to median sized nations, otherwise this could not be done. The continued march towards corporate nation-states.
Google won’t last 100 years.
Yahoo explaining Google’s 100 year bond is quite ironic
1b in GBP, because Google knows the Pound is going to be worthless in less than 100 years, so why not take that free money now and pay it back in worthless digital numbers many decades later
