Last earnings call, Aug 13, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- GDS achieved record H1 2026 bookings of 470 MW, including 260 MW in Q2, driven by AI infrastructure demand from China's hyperscale customers and emerging AI leaders. The company raised its full-year sales target to 1 gigawatt and secured an additional 600 MW in customer reservations. Backlog grew to 757 MW mid-year with estimated RMB 2.2M adjusted EBITDA per megawatt, implying ~RMB 1.6B in booked-but-not-billed EBITDA. New markets including Inner Mongolia and Guangdong contributed ~50% of H1 bookings.
- Guidance
- GDS raised its full-year 2026 bookings target to 1 gigawatt and expects over 1 gigawatt in new reservations by year-end. Backlog projected to exceed 1 gigawatt by year-end, providing multi-year revenue visibility as reservations convert to binding commitments.
