Applied Digital is unlikely to recover until the AI field turns into a full raging market, because stronger neocloud names like Nebius soak up the volume whenever the theme gets a bid. It could still reach $60+ one day. x.comÂ
Applied Digital's weekly chart looks promising, and the company has a $7.5B lease deal behind it. x.comÂ
Applied Digital's data-center buildout is paying off, with $73B of potential contracted revenue now signed with investment-grade hyperscalers.

Galaxy Digital and Core Scientific should outperform Applied Digital over the next five years; buying Applied Digital now because it has surged looks foolish. A year ago it was a near-bankrupt bitcoin miner; it has since signed 900MW of colocation deals, a levered, lower-quality business rallying on an industry trend, like Intel versus Nvidia.

Applied Digital's contracted AI data-center backlog should bring a dramatic shift in cash inflows as campuses come online through 2027 and beyond. Fiscal Q4 2026 revenue rose 407% to $258.7 million. Leases of 210 MW at Delta Forge 2 and 300 MW at Delta Forge 1 bring contracted load to 1.4 GW, about $36 billion of 15-year take-or-pay revenue, funded by over $3.7 billion of senior secured notes. After a trendline breakout, a retest should precede a major move toward the mid-30s. x.comÂ
Applied Digital's landlord model is finally showing in results, while cheaper capital and a removed tail risk strengthen the case. Base rent of $44.1M produced $39.9M of NOI at a 91% margin. New debt of $2.15B at 6.75% and $1.59B at 7.0% came 225 basis points inside its first financing, after CoreWeave won an investment-grade rating and backed the leases. The 10-K shows the roughly $2.4B Base Electron guarantee, the single biggest concern, was ended on May 29 for a $37M payment. x.comÂ
