GDS Holdings (ISIN KYG3902L1095) gained 6.24 percent to a last price of USD 29.29 on Nasdaq at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 5, 2026. The move puts the data center operator 39.7 percent below its 52-week high of USD 48.61, while the latest quarterly figures show a sharp earnings miss.

Second-quarter earnings missed estimates

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, GDS reported EPS of USD 0.52 against USD 1.35 consensus, a 61.5 percent shortfall, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was USD 454.51 million for the same period, compared with the USD 3.1 billion estimate shown in the earnings summary, while the report date was August 13, 2026.

The company also listed its second-quarter results on August 13, 2026, on its GDS investor-relations page. The contrasting revenue figures across published summaries make the earnings-period label important when comparing the stock with analyst expectations.

Analysts keep a Moderate Buy view

MarketBeat reports a Moderate Buy consensus from six analysts, including one Strong Buy, three Buy ratings and two Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target is USD 48.12, with a high of USD 64.00 and a low of USD 36.00.

At USD 29.29, the average target lies 64.3 percent above the October 5 price. The target spread matters because the low target still stands 22.9 percent above the stock's latest Nasdaq price, while the high target implies a materially wider valuation range.

AI demand remains the operating focus

Its business profile gives the earnings reaction two competing reference points: near-term EPS execution and longer-term demand for computing capacity.

The October 5 session also came with a clear market-data contrast. GDS traded between USD 28.45 and USD 29.61, with volume of 2,048,505 shares, and its market capitalization stood at USD 5.7 billion.
