Gross margin fell to 12.8% as KC expanded AI computing capacity, with management expecting margin recovery as investments in infrastructure translate into future revenue. KC's adjusted EBITDA margin surged to 27.6%, but leverage remains elevated at 5x, reflecting significant debt and ongoing unprofitability amid aggressive capex plans.
Kingsoft Cloud delivered a 1Q26 revenue increase of 37% YoY, which was better than 4Q25's actual +24% growth.
