GDS Holdings Limited

GDS Holdings Limited is a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China, founded in 2001. The company's mission is to provide a robust platform for the technology transforming China, delivering reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure solutions. Headquartered in Shanghai, People's Republic of China, GDS operates its facilities strategically in and around the country's primary economic hubs where demand for data center services is concentrated.

GDS offers a comprehensive suite of services, including colocation, managed hosting, managed cloud services, and consulting. Colocation services encompass critical facilities space, customer-available power, racks, and cooling. Managed hosting services include business continuity and disaster recovery solutions, network management, data storage, system security, operating system, database, and server middleware services. The company serves a diverse customer base, predominantly hyperscale cloud service providers, large internet companies, financial institutions, telecommunications carriers, IT service providers, and multinational corporations. GDS is carrier and cloud-neutral, enabling customers to access major telecommunications networks and leading public clouds.

In recent news, GDS Holdings Limited held its Annual General Meeting on June 25, 2026, with all resolutions passed. The company reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with net revenue reaching RMB 3.37 billion and net income surging 247% year-over-year. GDS has also announced plans to invest up to 50 billion yuan in AI data center expansion and achieved a record 200 MW in net new bookings during Q1 2026. However, the company has also faced a securities fraud investigation by Pomerantz Law Firm following the resignation of an independent director and Audit Committee Chair in May 2026. GDS maintains a leading market position in China and is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for data centers driven by cloud adoption, AI proliferation, and digital transformation.
