On June 5, GDS Holdings fell 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $34.125/share, with trading volume of $16.67 million.
The decline was driven by continued market skepticism over the company's Q1 earnings quality and its ambitious capital expenditure plans. Specifically, over 80% of the company's Q1 net profit of 2.652 billion yuan originated from a one-time investment gain of 2.136 billion yuan related to a DayOne equity transaction. Excluding this non-recurring item, core business revenue growth slowed to just 7.9%. Meanwhile, management reiterated a 30 to 50 billion yuan capital expenditure plan over the next three years, while operating cash flow remains under pressure, fueling concerns about near-term financial strain and triggering profit-taking on the prior recovery rally.
The broader Internet Services and Infrastructure sector also saw widespread weakness, with CoreWeave down 5.96%, Applied Digital down 9.78%, Cloudflare down 5.16%, Snowflake down 2.36%, and Shopify down 4.36%, amplifying selling pressure on GDS.
