According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GDS is a Neutral.

GDS Holdings’ overall stock score is primarily influenced by its strong earnings call performance, highlighting growth in AI-driven demand and successful capital access. However, financial performance is weighed down by declining revenue growth and high leverage, and the stock’s high valuation poses a risk. Technical indicators suggest a neutral to slightly bearish trend, further impacting the score.
