For investors and fund managers, GDS Holdings Ltd represents a play on Chinas accelerating digital transformation and the growing need for data center infrastructure. The companys focus on high-performance and reliable data center solutions positions it well to capitalize on the increasing demand for cloud services, edge computing, and data-intensive applications.
