Vnet Group released first-quarter results showing net revenue of 2.69 billion yuan, a 20% increase from the year-ago period. That top-line figure aligns closely with the consensus analyst projection of 2.66 billion yuan.
On an adjusted basis, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization reached 891.5 million yuan for the quarter, a 31% year-over-year improvement and modestly above the analyst estimate of 881 million yuan. Adjusted gross profit for the period came in at 1.21 billion yuan, representing a 25% rise from the prior-year quarter.
The company reported a quarterly loss of 8.16 yuan per American depositary receipt.
For the full year 2026, Vnet Group maintained its previously issued guidance. Management expects net revenue to be in the range of 11.5 billion yuan to 11.8 billion yuan, which corresponds to year-over-year growth of 15.6% to 18.6%. The midpoint of that revenue band is consistent with the analyst estimate of 11.71 billion yuan.
Vnet Group also reaffirmed its adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2026 of 3.55 billion yuan to 3.75 billion yuan, indicating expected growth of 19.2% to 25.9% compared with 2025. The midpoint of the adjusted EBITDA range lines up with the analyst estimate of 3.65 billion yuan.
Capital spending for the year is anticipated to fall between 10 billion yuan and 12 billion yuan.
