Wal-Mart Sells $2.5 Billion in 30-Year Bonds

New York City, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sold $1.5 billion in 30-year bonds on Wednesday, according to JP Morgan. Initially, Wal-Mart planned to sell $2.0 billion. Before the sale, demand for the bonds was expected to be high since 30-year corporate bonds are relatively rare. This sale is Wal-Mart’s second offering since Aug. 8, when it issued $800 million of five-year notes, according to Bloomberg data.
