Companies are burning through exorbitant sums of money to keep pace in the AI arms race. Debt is climbing. Amidst this flurry of activity, Amazon has signed a deal to borrow some $17.5 billion from a number of financial lenders, according to Bloomberg.

The banks behind the loan reportedly include Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, HSBC, and BofA Securities. The deal has been characterized as a delayed draw term loan, meaning Amazon can draw down the funds on its own timeline rather than taking the full sum upfront, giving it flexibility in how and when the money gets deployed.

The loan comes just two days after it was reported that Amazon would also raise $14 billion in a Canadian bond sale, bringing its total new financing to roughly $31.5 billion in the span of roughly 48 hours.

It’s not clear exactly how Amazon plans to spend all the new money. Reuters notes that the new loan will be used for “general corporate purposes.” TechCrunch has reached out to Amazon for more information.

Amazon is hardly alone. To fund new AI infrastructure like chips and data centers, companies are leveraging historic capex. Increasingly, companies are borrowing money to fund their massive AI buildouts. The question investors and analysts are increasingly asking isn’t whether this spending is necessary — it’s whether the returns will ever justify it.

The scale of the borrowing is striking even by Silicon Valley standards. About a week ago, Google parent company Alphabet said that it planned to raise $80 billion through a stock sale designed to help “fund its investments in a balanced way while retaining a healthy balance sheet.” Meta has also announced plans to raise $30 billion in a bond sale — its largest ever.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is leaning even harder into the AI spending race. Soon after selling the biggest Canadian corporate bond deal on record, the company secured access to a $17.5 billion delayed-draw term loan from a group of banks including Citigroup. The loan will be available until the end of September, and each time Amazon draws on it, the company will have three years from that borrowing date to repay the money.

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with AMZN. Is AMZN fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator.

The timing matters. Amazon has already committed major capital to AI, including as much as $50 billion in cash for OpenAI, starting with an initial $15 billion commitment. Anthropic also said two months later that Amazon agreed to invest another $5 billion, with the possibility of $20 billion more over time. CreditSights analysts Jordan Chalfin and Michael Pugh said the new loan could help fund those equity investments, while also suggesting Amazon could possibly become a future equity-issuance candidate after large stock sales from other major companies including Alphabet, which raised $84.75 billion last week.

This is not just another routine borrowing. Amazon's unsecured loan will pay 0.625 to 0.875 percentage point above SOFR, depending on its senior unsecured credit rating, with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, HSBC, Wells Fargo and more than a dozen other banks also involved. The deal follows Amazon's C$14 billion Canadian-dollar bond sale, worth about $10 billion, and comes after the company has also sold bonds in euros, US dollars and Swiss francs since March. For investors, the message could be simple: Amazon is raising capital across markets as big tech keeps borrowing heavily to fund data centers, AI model makers and other AI assets.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) secured a $17.5 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility with Citigroup (NYSE:C). Lenders also include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), BofA Securities (NYSE:BAC), HSBC (NYSE:HSBC), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). The facility can be drawn until September 30, 2026, with any borrowed amount maturing three years from the draw date and no financial covenants attached. Amazon shares fell 2.10% intraday.

The loan is for general corporate purposes and gives Amazon the flexibility to draw funds as needed. Earlier this week the company also filed for a five-part debt offering in Canada for up to C$14 billion.

The moves reflect a broader shift among hyperscalers toward debt markets to fund AI buildouts. Combined Big Tech AI capital outlays are on track to surpass $700 billion this year, up from roughly $600 billion previously. Meta (NASDAQ:META) filed its largest bond offering ever last October at up to $30 billion, while Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) recently disclosed plans for yen-denominated bonds.

Investing.com -- HSBC lowered its price target on Li Auto (HK:2015) (NASDAQ:LI) to $15.60 from $17.20 and maintained its Hold rating on the Chinese electric vehicle maker, flagging a more difficult competitive landscape and a weaker near-term profitability outlook as the company's product refresh cycle gets underway.

The bank also lowered its target for the Hong Kong-listed shares to 61 from 67 Hong Kong dollars.

The company's U.S.-listed shares slipped 1.4% in premarket trading by 06:17 GMT.

The bank revised its 2026 earnings outlook from a prior profit forecast to a loss, a move driven by three factors: weaker volume estimates, gross margin pressure from cost inflation, and a higher operating expense ratio as the company steps up research and development spending.

HSBC now expects Li Auto's 2026-28 earnings to come in 6%, 13%, and 9% below Bloomberg consensus, respectively.

The refreshed L9 SUV has shown an encouraging early start, with around 10,000 orders in its first two weeks and a product mix skewed toward higher-end trims. A new L8 model, expected to launch later this month, should provide further support.

HSBC said it expects a gradual recovery in deliveries and profitability through the second half of 2026, but warned that the upside is likely to be more moderate than in previous product cycles.

The bank's main concern is a structural one. "The key challenge is that industry demand is increasingly shifting towards premium BEVs, while Li Auto remains largely reliant on its EREV franchise," analyst Yuqian Ding wrote.

"With limited BEV refresh catalysts in 2026 and rising competitive intensity across both EREV and BEV segments, we see operational improvement but limited scope for meaningful earnings reacceleration, he added.

First-quarter 2026 vehicle gross margin held steady at 16.8%, reflecting a higher mix of lower-priced i6 BEV models, purchase-tax subsidies, and raw material cost inflation. While HSBC forecasts some margin recovery, it does not expect them to return to prior peak levels of around 19-20% anytime soon.

The new target price of $15.60 implies around 10% upside to current levels, which analysts said is insufficient to warrant a more constructive stance.

"We maintain a Hold rating on the stock as L series volume momentum may be capped this year given the intensifying competition in the large EV SUV segment," they wrote.

Key Points

The iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF has outperformed the S&P 500 index in the past year (as of June 7). The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF has delivered a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 3.30%. Since it owns more stocks from a wider range of markets, the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF could be a better choice for long-term investors.10 stocks we like better than iShares Trust - iShares Core Msci Total International Stock ETF ›

Buying international exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is an easy way to tap into the growth potential of stock markets beyond America. There's no guarantee that other countries' stock markets will outperform the S&P 500 index. But owning shares in international companies can be a way to protect against a downturn in U.S. tech stocks or hedge against the risk of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Two iShares ETFs offer slightly different approaches to buying global stocks, and one is more diversified than the other. The iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF(NASDAQ: IXUS) offers exposure to more than 4,000 global stocks from a wide range of markets, while the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF(NYSEMKT: IEFA) holds about 2,600 stocks with a focus on developed markets.

In the past year, the more-diversified fund (IXUS) has slightly outperformed the S&P 500, with a total return of 25.8%:

IXUS vs. IEFA: Head-to-head comparison

These two iShares international ETFs have some similarities. Both funds have low fees (expense ratios of 0.07%), and both are well diversified, with thousands of international stocks.

Here's a quick high-level comparison of these two ETFs: Metric iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA) Number of stocks 4,344 2,625 Top 5 countries 1. Japan : 14.99% of fund

2. Taiwan: 9.01%

3. United Kingdom: 8.29%

4. Canada: 8.09%

5. South Korea: 7.15% 1. Japan: 25.49% of fund

6. United Kingdom: 14.08%

7. France: 9.01%

8. Switzerland: 8.51%

9. Germany: 8.17% Year-to-date return (by net asset value) 14.6% 9.5% 10-year average annual total returns 9.9% 9.4% Dividend yield (TTM) 2.9% 3.3% Expense ratio 0.07% 0.07% Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio 18.97 18.27

Data source: iShares.

In general, buying a diversified portfolio of stocks is better than putting too many eggs in one basket. That holds true when comparing these two international ETFs. The iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF holds more stocks than the other fund, and it has outperformed year to date and in the past 10 years.

Both of these international ETFs offer strong dividend yields, but the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF has delivered a higher yield (3.3%). Both ETFs are priced more cheaply than the S&P 500 according to their price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios -- the S&P 500 has a P/E ratio of 31.83. Based on that valuation metric, international stocks might have more room to run.

What stocks are in IXUS and IEFA?

The different performance and dividend yields of these two international ETFs can be explained by what types of stocks and sectors are held by each fund. Each of these iShares funds invests in a slightly different mix of stocks, countries, and industries.

Here's a quick breakdown of the top five sector holdings of these two iShares ETFs: iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA) Financials: 21.8% Financials: 22.6% Information technology: 20.9% Industrials: 19.7% Industrials: 15.0% Information technology: 11.3% Consumer discretionary: 8.2% Healthcare: 9.4% Materials: 7.5% Consumer discretionary: 8.7%

Data source: iShares.

Here's the biggest high-level difference between these two funds: the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF is more tech-heavy. About 21% its assets are invested in tech stocks, compared with only 11.3% for the other fund.

For example, if you look at the top five stock holdings, you see the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF is all tech stocks: iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing: 4.35% of the fund ASML Holding: 2.62% Samsung Electronics: 2.35% HSBC Holdings: 1.25% SK Hynix: 1.75% Roche Holding: 1.15% ASML Holding: 1.55% AstraZeneca: 1.13% Tencent Holdings: 0.84% Novartis: 1.09%

Data source: iShares.

The top four holdings in the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF are all semiconductor stocks. They have performed well during the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, but what if the AI boom turns into a bust? The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF top five holdings include one semiconductor stock (ASML Holding), but the other top holdings are financial (HSBC, a major international bank) and pharmaceutical giants.

Both funds are well-diversified, but one fund has a little more exposure to AI stocks. If you want to diversify your portfolio away from the U.S. tech boom (in case of a future tech downturn), the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF could be a better choice.

Why buy IXUS instead of IEFA?

Both of these iShares funds can be good choices for investors who are internationally minded and want to diversify beyond the U.S. market. They're both low-cost index funds. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF ranks among the best international ETFs.

But I believe that diversification is valuable in the long run. If you look at the past 10 years of performance, the more diversified fund, the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF, has slightly outperformed:

IXUS Total Return Level data by YCharts

This fund owns more than 4,300 stocks across a wide range of countries, including emerging markets such as South Korea and Taiwan. That might make it more volatile in the short run. But as a long-term investor, I'd rather have exposure to the growth potential of the world's up-and-coming economies.

HSBC Holdings stock overview

HSBC Holdings (LSE:HSBA) has drawn investor attention after recent share price moves, including a decline of about 4% over the past day and 7% over the past week.

See our latest analysis for HSBC Holdings.

Despite the sharp 1-day share price decline of 4.36% and 7-day share price decline of 6.98%, HSBC’s 10.04% year to date share price return and very large 5-year total shareholder return of 309.33% point to longer term momentum that has so far remained intact. Recent weakness may hint at shifting views on its growth potential and risk profile.

With HSBC stock recently weaker despite a 10.04% year-to-date gain and very large 5-year shareholder returns, along with some implied discount to analyst and intrinsic estimates, should you see value here or assume the market already prices in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 8% Undervalued

With HSBC shares at about £13.11 versus a narrative fair value of £14.20, the current price sits below what this widely followed valuation framework suggests.

The bank is intensifying investment in Asian wealth management and private banking, leveraging a strong brand and local presence in fast-growing wealth markets like Hong Kong, mainland China, and Southeast Asia. This positions HSBC to capture rising affluence and middle class expansion, which in turn could fuel future growth in fee income and support more resilient earnings and higher margins. HSBC's global network and expertise in facilitating cross-border trade also place it in a distinctive position to participate in the continued expansion of Asian intra-regional and international trade flows and Belt and Road-related capital movement, with the potential to drive stronger, sustained growth in transaction banking revenues and non-interest fee income.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what kind of revenue run rate, margin uplift and future P/E this story needs to hold together? The narrative leans on a bold mix of growth, efficiency and re rating assumptions that go well beyond headline earnings trends.

This narrative uses an 8.4% discount rate to bring projected cash flows back to today, alongside specific views on future earnings growth, profit margins and valuation multiples. It also embeds expectations for how HSBC reallocates capital across Hong Kong, the UK, corporate banking and international wealth, while balancing higher returns in Asia with the risks highlighted in recent research and news flow.

Story Continues

Result: Fair Value of £14.20 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, this story still hinges on Hong Kong commercial real estate pressures and on HSBC’s heavy exposure to Asia not having a greater impact on margins and credit costs.

Find out about the key risks to this HSBC Holdings narrative.

Another View On HSBC’s Valuation

Those fair value estimates of about £14.20 and a 40.6% discount to intrinsic value sit alongside a much less generous picture from earnings multiples. HSBC trades on a P/E of 14.3x versus 11.3x for European banks, 10.3x for peers and a fair ratio of 10.8x, which points to a richer price tag and less margin for error if sentiment turns.

In 2026, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ: VXUS) has returned 11.5% compared to a 7.9% gain for the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEMKT: IEFA). That year-to-date outperformance has pushed the Vanguard ETF ahead on a trailing one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis.

Both international exchange-traded funds (ETFs) invest in a wide variety of foreign stocks, but the biggest difference is the markets they invest in. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF holds more than 2,600 stocks, but they're all from developed markets. The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF holds 8,700 stocks, spanning both developed and emerging markets.

Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »

The choice between them comes down to whether you want emerging markets exposure. I prefer the ETF that owns those markets.Image source: Getty Images.

iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF

This ETF tracks the MSCI EAFE IMI Index. It invests in companies of all sizes from developed markets outside the United States and Canada. It's comprehensive exposure to these countries with an expense ratio of just 0.07%, one of the lowest in this category.

The top five holdings currently are:

ASML Holdings (2.44% of the index) HSBC Holdings (1.26%) Roche (1.15%) AstraZeneca (1.12%) Novartis AG (1.12%)

The fund has more than 60% of its assets in the eurozone, so the next big catalyst could come from there. I see European defense spending potentially providing the upside push. By 2035, NATO allies have committed to spending 5% of GDP annually on core defense, up from the 2% requirement in place today. The biggest percentage of spending growth is likely to come from Europe and Canada, which increased an estimated 16% year over year in 2025.

This ETF has nearly 20% of its assets invested in industrials, the second-largest sector holding.

Vanguard Total International Stock ETF

This ETF follows the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index. It targets virtually every investable stock outside of the United States. Canada, which is absent from the iShares ETF, accounts for 8% of this fund. Emerging markets are 27% of the portfolio.

The top five holdings currently are:

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (4.25% of the index) Samsung (1.79%) ASML Holdings (1.42%) SK Hynix (1.22%) Tencent Holdings (0.95%)

The added exposure to tech and emerging markets is evident in the top holdings. But I think China and Taiwan could be differentiators going forward. Chinese stocks are on the downswing again as slowing growth, geopolitical tensions, and trade tensions remain risks. Both countries are heavy importers of oil, and any prolonged conflict in the Middle East could drag on returns.

Story Continues

Despite this, I still think the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF is the winner. Emerging-market exposure is important for a well-rounded equity portfolio. Plus, it tends to offer better value and higher long-term return potential. That potential is already evident in 2026.
