LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

GDS Holdings (ADR) / Equity Capital Markets

It was reported by several news media outlets over the past few weeks that the leading developer and operator of high-performance data centres in China, GDS Holdings is in the process of securing a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.The demand for high-performance data centres in China and elsewhere has been growing substantially driven by big data, AI and other IoT initiatives. The Covid-19 outbreak has further accelerated this growth as more people opt to work from home coupled with an increase in online learning activities.While we remain positive about GDS’ top line growth and the demand for data centres, we have been unimpressed with the trend in the company’s margins. Both the GPM and OPM have not improved much over the past 4-5 quarters despite the company continuing to add new capacity.We conducted a quantamental study on the company’s margins to examine if it has more room for growth.
