Question · Q3 2025
Daily Lee asked for more color on the AI exposure within GDS's recent new orders, specifically the percentage from AI and the split between inferencing and training models. Lee also inquired about the impact of the China government's Q2 window guidance to tighten data center supply.
Answer
Dan Newman, GDS CFO, stated that new bookings for 2025 are expected to reach nearly 300 megawatts, with approximately 65% being AI-related. This AI demand in Tier 1 markets is primarily for inferencing or a combination of inferencing and training, deployed within established cloud regions. William Huang, GDS Founder, Chairman, and CEO, acknowledged the window guidance in Tier 1 markets but noted GDS is well-prepared with 900 megawatts of powered land already secured in or near Tier 1 markets. In remote areas, power is abundant, and local governments encourage data center development.
