Lambda Closes $1.008B Investment-Grade GPU Debt Facility

Lambda closed a $1.008 billion investment-grade delayed-draw term loan to fund GPU infrastructure for three committed customer deployments, according to the company’s October 1, 2026 blog post. The facility carries a 6.78% fixed coupon, was rated A (low) by Morningstar DBRS and Baa1 by Moody’s, and was oversubscribed.

The numbers on the wire

• $1.008 billion delayed-draw term loan (press lead also frames it as a $1 billion investment-grade delayed draw).
• First U.S. fixed-rate financing for Lambda; first $1 billion-plus institutional debt; second institutional credit facility after a broadly syndicated loan closed August 27, 2026.
• Ratings: Morningstar DBRS A (low); Moody’s Baa1; company says the deal was oversubscribed.
• 6.78% fixed interest rate on a semi-annual coupon basis — Lambda says pricing came inside its target range on strong market interest.
• Proceeds fund GPU infrastructure for three committed customer deployments with two investment-grade offtakers across multiple data centers (company-reported; offtakers unnamed).
• Final maturity May 30, 2033, fully amortizing; secured by the GPU servers and related infrastructure funded by the facility plus contracted cash flows.
• Company framing: roughly $1 billion raised in each major 2026 financing.

What the facility funds

Lambda says the delayed-draw structure aligns proceeds with cluster commissioning milestones, so capital funds infrastructure as it enters service. The release describes offtake from two hyperscale customers and calls this the first publicly rated investment-grade GPU debt financing to diversify offtake exposure within a single facility — company framing, without naming those customers.

CEO Michel Combes said the capital underwrites infrastructure “in decades, not quarters,” and that Lambda was funded as a private company on the strength of its customer contracts. He framed the deal as the third new credit market Lambda has opened in the last 18 months, after its investment-grade Term Loan B and bank lending facility.

J.P. Morgan acted as sole coordinating lead arranger, structuring agent, and bookrunner. Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP advised Lambda; Latham & Watkins LLP advised the lenders.

What the release leaves out

No named offtakers. No data-center sites, megawatt capacity, or GPU counts. No company valuation, ARR, or leverage metrics. The hard figures on the wire are the facility size, coupon, ratings, maturity, and the three-deployment / two-offtaker structure Lambda disclosed.
