Tech & Software Companies With Real Debt Exposure

Which technology companies actually carry meaningful debt — and how stressed are they? Updated 2026-05-12.

Most tech companies are cash-rich and debt-light, but not all. Some have taken on significant debt through acquisitions (Broadcom, Synopsys), convertible note issuances (Zscaler, MongoDB), or capital-intensive buildouts. These are the tech names with over $100M in long-term debt, ranked by refinancing risk.
