Applied Digital rallied for a second day on Tuesday, surging 11.93 percent to close at $39.88 apiece, as investor sentiment was bolstered by the successful separation of its cloud business into a new entity in line with its plans to focus and grow on its core strengths.

In a statement, Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) said that EKSO Bionics Holdings Inc., which it recently acquired, officially changed its name to ChronoScale Corporation and began trading on the stock market under the ticker symbol “CHRN.”

ChronoScale will operate as an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support demanding artificial intelligence workloads designed to deliver scalable, GPU-based infrastructure optimized for AI training, inference, and high-performance computing.

Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) currently owns a 97 percent stake in ChronoScale, equivalent to 138 million shares plus a new $15.75 million investment, or 1.4 million shares.

“Applied Digital remains focused on delivering large-scale AI infrastructure with stable, long-term cash flows. At the same time, we believe ChronoScale is positioned to participate in the growth of the cloud compute layer, where we expect demand to continue to accelerate and capacity to remain constrained, which we expect to support strong utilization and favorable pricing dynamics,” Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) CEO Wes Cummins said, noting that the new structure is intended to allow both businesses to pursue their respective opportunities while giving investors clear exposure to each.
