Published: October 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Applied Digital Corp is surging on the Q1 report: revenue came in $14.2M higher than expected, and Polaris Forge 2 is under construction, bringing more capacity to lease out.

We were bearish on the stock based on our belief that Applied Digital was maxed out on capacity to sell, and management just proved us wrong, bringing another 300 MW online.
