GDS-SW (9698.HK) has recently seen three consecutive days of gains, and this morning it continued to rise rapidly, approaching the previous high resistance zone, with strong short-term offensive intent from AI concept funds. On the technical front, the MACD has formed a new golden cross, the candlestick pattern is bright, and trading volume continues to expand. Short-term moving averages such as the 5-day and 10-day are rising in sync, creating a bullish atmosphere in the short term. As one of the strongest main lines in the current market, the AI concept has extremely high capital enthusiasm, and GDS, relying on computing power, IDC, and data center themes, has become one of the main targets favored by investors. Industry news is positive, with hotspots like large models and the capitalization of data elements continuously fermenting, making such heavyweight stocks favored during sector rotations. On the market, there is a noticeable influx of short-term chasing funds, but there are historical trapped positions in the previous high area, causing the net inflow speed of the main force to slow down under the halo, with initial signs of differentiation emerging. If it can continue to break through with increased volume effectively, it is expected to open up a second space; otherwise, it may fall into a high-level tug-of-war. Active participation is recommended, focusing on low-buy opportunities during pullbacks and avoiding heavy chasing at high levels. Although the inflow of funds into the AI concept is strong, there is uncertainty regarding the main line switch and sector sustainability, so dynamic tracking of turnover rates and market sentiment is still necessary in operations. If the market continues to attack collectively with sustained net inflows from the main force, it is expected to launch an assault on new highs; conversely, caution is needed for high-level volatility risks

Today, $Vnet(VNET.US) and $GDS(GDS.US) experienced significant adjustments. The main reasons investors are focusing on include: 1) Profit-taking effects; 2) Rumors of tighter AI chip restrictions gaining traction; 3) DeepSeek's public disclosure of inference efficiency and costs, where higher cluster utilization leads to lower unit costs.Typical data center businesses and companies are not involved in computing power leasing. Their order demand and performance are more related to how much capital expenditure internet companies and other clients invest in server purchases, and subsequently, how much server hosting services (i.e., data center leasing demand) are generated. The judgment on whether the IDC market trend can continue essentially depends on whether domestic cloud providers' capital expenditure increases are sustained and whether they allocate orders to third parties rather than building their own facilities.Regarding value-for-money improvement positions: Based on industry average valuations, GDS at 15x 2025e EV/EBITDA corresponds to a stock price of $31; VNET at 12x 2025e EV/EBITDA corresponds to a stock price of $9.3, both significantly below the industry average.Regarding support levels: Based on expected REITs valuations, GDS at 13x 2025e EV/EBITDA corresponds to a stock price of $23; VNET at 10x 2025e EV/EBITDA corresponds to $6.7.Key follow-up items to monitor: 1) GDS earnings call—new domestic and overseas orders, Capex guidance, Day One listing plan, REITs progress; 2) VNET earnings call—new orders for domestic base-type business, utilization expectations for urban-type business, Capex guidance, REITs progress; 3) Tencent's earnings capital expenditure guidance and actual progress in internet companies' capital expenditures; 4) Overall investment sentiment in tech stocks.(Repost)

Forwarded from: Xingzhi US Stocks What is our research colleague's view on this topic? Ronald Keung pointed out that as the entry threshold lowers (especially with the recent development costs of some new models being only a small fraction of existing models), the AI theme may present a potential competitive landscape between capital-rich internet giants and startups.
