1. Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:APLD)

Applied Digital skyrocketed by 102.9 percent in just a week of trading, with investor sentiment boosted by its $7-billion lease agreement with CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV).

Under the agreement covering two 15-year leases, Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:APLD) will deliver 250 megawatts of critical IT load to host CoreWeave, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:CRWV) artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure at its Ellendale, North Dakota data center campus.

It expects to deliver the first 100 MW of data center in the fourth quarter of the year, while the remaining 150 MW is expected to come online in the middle of 2026.

Following the news, B. Riley gave Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:APLD) a “buy” recommendation and a new price target of $15, nearly double the $8 price target previously.
