What the Analysts think about GDS Holdings
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for GDS Holdings stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
GDS Holdings is seeking a record $3.4 billion-equivalent loan to fund its Malaysian data centre operations, underscoring strong bank confidence and supporting the company’s Southeast Asia expansion strategy (Bloomberg).
In January 2025, GDS spun off its overseas operations into an independent entity, DayOne, reducing its regulatory and geopolitical exposure while allowing the parent company to focus capital and management on its core domestic business (Reuters).
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is developing a national cloud network to standardize interconnection and sell surplus computing power, providing a potential new revenue stream and utilisation boost for established domestic operators like GDS (Reuters).
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is implementing a state-managed cloud network to redistribute surplus computing power from over 7,000 low-utilisation data centres operating at just 20–30%, signaling possible downward pressure on GDS’s domestic capacity utilisation and pricing power (Reuters).
Malaysia’s requirement for permits on U.S.-made AI chip imports and the tightening of environmental vetting for data centre projects in Johor have already led to rejection of about 30% of applications, likely delaying or increasing costs for GDS’s DayOne overseas expansions (Reuters).
Major cloud providers are reassessing or delaying new data centre builds, exemplified by Microsoft halting projects in locations from Chicago to Jakarta, indicating that GDS’s hyperscale customers may also slow their expansion plans and weigh on future contracted revenues (Bloomberg).
