Applied Digital Refocuses on HPC, Eyes $6B+ Revenue from 1.66 GW Capacity
APLD has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $11.4.
Summary
Applied Digital is pivoting from cloud services to high-performance computing and colocation, spinning off its ChronoScale unit to sharpen focus. The company is marketing 1.7 GW of capacity across multiple states, with 1.41 GW already under construction. If two additional leases of 100 MW and 150 MW close, total capacity would reach 1.66 GW, potentially generating over $6 billion in contracted revenue. This follows a series of major lease agreements and a $36.2B backlog reported in the recent 10-K, reinforcing the scale of the HPC buildout. The strategic shift and new revenue target provide fresh detail on the company's growth trajectory beyond previously announced deals.
