VNET Group reported a 14.2% year-over-year increase in total net revenue for the second quarter of 2026, reaching RMB 2.78 billion. The company achieved an adjusted net income of RMB 7.4 million, marking a turnaround from a net loss in the same quarter of the previous year.

Growth was primarily fueled by the wholesale internet data center (IDC) business, which saw revenue rise 29.3% to RMB 1.10 billion. Management attributed this performance to sustained demand for AI computing infrastructure. Operational metrics indicated that wholesale capacity in service reached 1,007 megawatts, a 49.4% increase compared to the previous year, supported by new orders from a leading cloud service provider in the Beijing area.
