Source: XBRL data GDS Holdings Limited files with the SEC, latest filing dated Apr 29, 2026 (see filings on SEC EDGAR). Provided for information only, not investment advice. Check the filing before relying on a number.

Per-share figures are as filed. The filings show no stock split in these periods.

EPS growth is left out where the share count moved enough to suggest a split the filings do not show. Growth rates need a positive starting figure. CAGR is compound annual growth between fiscal years. The CSV holds every period on file, in full figures, from the same SEC filings.

Foreign private issuers file annual reports with the SEC, so there are no quarterly statements here.
