APLD's AI-focused pivot, $7B CoreWeave deal and cooling tech give it an edge over VRT in the data center growth race.
Neocloud Opportunity: Emerging cloud computing companies, termed “neoclouds,” are gaining traction, with examples like CoreWeave and Applied Digital showing significant growth potential.
Here is how Applied Digital Corporation (APLD) and Artisan Partners Asset Management (APAM) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
Most investors will tell you that it pays to listen when the market sends a clear signal. On August 1, 2025, the market for Applied Digital Corporation NASDAQ: APLD was practically shouting.
Applied Digital's data centers are unique in that they focus on AI uses. It's what landed them an upgraded $11B CoreWeave deal, driving strong growth and my optimism. Recent earnings showed a major improvement: revenue up 41%, EPS loss narrowing, and substantial cash raised for further expansion. The accelerated construction timeline and robust crypto hosting provide both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential.
Applied Digital Corporation's pivot to AI data centers is gaining traction, highlighted by a $7B CoreWeave contract and strong Q4 earnings beat. Execution risk remains high: debt levels are elevated, valuation is rich, and profitability is still a future goal, not a reality. The company is accelerating buildouts, securing financing, and negotiating with multiple hyperscalers, signaling real progress toward its AI ambitions.
APLD's fiscal Q4 revenues rose 41%, and major CoreWeave contracts helped drive a sharp pre-market stock rally.
Applied Digital signed a 15-year, 400 MW lease with CoreWeave worth $11 billion. Shares are up more than 35% as analysts raise targets and investors reposition APLD as a serious AI infrastructure provider.
