Introduction
In this report, EqualOcean explains how rocketing demand for data storage services and high capital cost entry barriers will protect GDS' dominant position in China, amid the intensifying market competition.
Highlights
- The company is facing sheer industry tailwinds – the countrywide 5G rollout, cloud adoption and broad digitalization processes in China; combined, these factors will result in tremendous demand for data storage.
- We expect GDS to further improve its cost structure, driving the margins up.
- China's attempts to develop REIT-related regulations will be beneficial for the entire data center industry.
- EqualOcean is bullish on most Chinese data center stocks. Here, we initiate coverage of GDS, allocating a market weight rating.
