Lenovo raised $2bn through seven-year zero-coupon convertible bonds due 2033, priced at a 47.5% conversion premium. The deal pays no interest — investors bet on stock appreciation instead. Proceeds will partly refinance a $675m 2029 convertible note and fund share buybacks to offset dilution. The financing is underpinned by Lenovo's growing AI server business, which has benefited from surging demand for Nvidia accelerator hardware. The zero-coupon structure reflects strong investor appetite for equity-linked debt driven by the AI hardware boom, allowing Lenovo to lock in cost-free financing through 2033 while the market window remains open.
