GDS Holding: A Sum-Of-The-Parts Opportunity With AI As The Growth Engine
GDS Holdings offers a catalyst-driven opportunity, underpinned by a significant stake in DayOne. Record Q1 2026 bookings and anticipated AI-driven demand growth could drive EBITDA from ~$850 million today to $1.5–2.0 billion by 2029. After considering DayOne stake, the market values GDS's core China operations at only ~7.4x EV/EBITDA, well below what we believe is appropriate for an AI country leader.
GDS Holdings: Stay Buy Rated As Underlying Orders Continue To Grow
GDS Holdings remains a buy as bookings, backlog, land bank, and unit costs all improved, despite messy headline numbers from one-time items. Bookings and reservations now exceed 1GW YTD, signaling GDS as a clear beneficiary of China's multi-year AI infrastructure cycle with strong forward visibility. Unit development costs have declined ~15% over three years, supporting a 10–11% adjusted gross profit yield for stabilized assets and attractive return profiles.
