Buy Core Scientific Over Applied Digital
Core Scientific (CORZ) offers a more attractive risk/reward profile than Applied Digital (APLD) due to its larger, immediately leasable power capacity and faster delivery schedule. CORZ is set to deliver 590 MW to CoreWeave over 12 months, with 243 MW already being billed and the remainder expected ahead of APLD's timeline. APLD's near-term upside is limited, with most capacity set for delivery further out, while trading at a premium 23x FY27 sales versus CORZ's 14x CY26 sales.
