Executive Summary

Alphabet is executing a massive multi-tranche capital raise totaling approximately $44.6 billion, including an $8.375 billion Series B mandatory convertible preferred offering (GOOGN), an $8.375 billion Series A mandatory convertible preferred offering (GOOGM), an ~$18 billion common stock offering, a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway, and a $40 billion ATM program. Proceeds are earmarked for AI infrastructure capex (2026E: $180-190B) and general corporate purposes. The substantial equity and equity-linked issuance creates significant dilution overhang for GOOGL/GOOG common shareholders, partially offset by Berkshire's $10B vote of confidence and capped-call hedges on the preferreds.
