# Pre-market trend | GDS-SW (9698.HK) 5/8 Data center concept active, are the main players positioning?

On May 8th, at the close, the MACD daily line of GDS-SW formed a bullish signal above the zero axis, indicating a medium-term trend direction leaning towards bullish, with buying power gradually accumulating. The trading volume that day was approximately HKD 219 million, with increased volume showing that market attention towards the data center sector is recovering. As a leading third-party data center operator in China, GDS's recent performance is closely related to the investment boom in AI computing infrastructure.

On the news front, NVIDIA announced a $2.1 billion investment in IREN to expand its data centers and signed a $3.4 billion AI cloud contract, reigniting market enthusiasm for the global demand for data center expansion. CoreWeave's financial report shows that the proportion of inference computing power consumption has exceeded half, indicating that the demand for data centers from the AI inference side may exceed previous expectations. GDS has a strong layout of quality data center resources in China, and against the backdrop of an explosion in demand for AI large model training and inference computing power, its capacity utilization and new signed orders are expected to continue improving. The overall capital inflow into the Hong Kong stock cloud and data center sector is significant.

From a technical perspective, the stock price has stabilized and rebounded after previous adjustments, with short-term moving averages beginning to turn upwards. If it can break through the upper edge of the recent fluctuation range with increased volume, it is likely to confirm the start of a new upward phase. Attention should be paid to the performance of similar U.S. stocks IREN and CoreWeave for sentiment transmission to the Hong Kong stock data center sector.

The short-term trend is leaning towards bullish, with the AI industry catalyzing a clear growth narrative for data center stocks. However, it should be noted that this sector has significant valuation elasticity; if AI investment expectations show marginal cooling or a tight interest rate environment suppresses capital expenditure, stock prices may experience considerable volatility.
