Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 37% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 1, 2025
GDS runs large data centers used for AI. The stock looks washed out, and buying interest is picking up, with the recent average price turning upward and more buyers than usual. Raymond James reaffirmed Strong Buy and a $53 target. Management expects AI-driven demand to hold up. China rules and funding needs are real risks, so buy in steps. Over the next 0-3 months, we aim for a rebound and want the price to hold above key levels.
Primary drivers
- Price fell hard and now buyers are stepping in, hinting at a turn higher
- A well-known broker kept a Strong Buy rating and a $53 target this week
- Rising need for AI computing should support the company's sales outlook
- Recent average price is edging up, suggesting the trend may be improving
