Analyst Ratings | Goldman Sachs: Cloud and Data Center Subsector Remains the Most Favored Segment for the Second Half of the Year

Gelonghui, June 9 | Goldman Sachs stated in a report that the cloud and data center sub-sector remains its most favored area in the second half of 2026. Its top recommendations continue to be: Alibaba (included in the Asia Pacific Conviction Buy List), GDS Holdings, 21Vianet, and Kingsoft Cloud. Although the pace of existing capacity expansion and customer onboarding in the first quarter was below expectations, the firm anticipates that cloud service price increases and sustained token expansion will drive cloud revenue growth and margin expansion, alongside higher capital expenditures by hyperscale cloud operators. The firm now estimates that ByteDance, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (BBAT) will increase their full-year 2026 capital expenditures.
