Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) is one of the top 10 high-performance computing companies to invest in.

The company’s recent commercial developments make it a highly compelling investment case. On April 23, Roth Capital analyst Darren Aftahi maintained a Buy rating for Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD). He increased the price target on the stock from $58 to $65. This upward adjustment came immediately after a major corporate infrastructure announcement.

Aftahi noted that the company obtained a very profitable leasing agreement with a new local hyperscaler for Delta Forge 1, which is its 430 MW AI Factory campus complex. This massive deal has a total contractual value of almost $7.5 billion over an expected 15-year period. He views this catalyst as just the first of several major commercial developments expected to materialize throughout 2026.

This is the second investment-grade tenant in the United States for Applied Digital, increasing the contracted lease revenue to more than $23 billion. More than 50% of the contracted lease revenue is from investment-grade customers. Delta Forge 1 is more than 500 acres, and operations will commence in the middle of 2027.
