Why Applied Digital Stock Skyrocketed 31% Today
Key Points Applied Digital surged after CoreWeave expanded its AI computing lease, pushing the total contract value to $11 billion. The lease announcement prompted analysts at Citizens to raise APLD's price target, reflecting bullish near-term sentiment amid rising AI infrastructure demand. 10 stocks we like better than Applied Digital › Shares of Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) jumped on Thursday, finishing the day up 31%. The huge spike came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lost 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively. The Bitcoin miner-turned artificial intelligence (AI) cloud computing provider reported its second-quarter earnings. Despite somewhat mixed results, it was revealed that another major cloud provider intends to lease additional compute power. Applied Digital gets a big win Applied Digital announced that its partner CoreWeave exercised a lease option for an additional 150 MW of computing power, bringing the total contract value to $11 billion. This is the maximum the company can provide from its Ellendale, North Dakota, location. The analyst Greg Miller of Citizens maintained his buy rating on the stock after the news and raised his price target to $16. Big tech continues its AI spend The news comes as major AI players in big tech like Meta Platforms and Microsoft release their earnings results, showing no signs of reining in their AI capital expenditures (capex). Quite the opposite. Meta nearly doubled its capex year over year while Microsoft grew its capex by 22% to $17.1 billion and plans to increase that to $30 billion this quarter. That figure was 60% more than analysts expected. Applied is growing fast, but the future is uncertain While I think the company will continue to perform well in the near term, I have significant concerns about the business model long-term. The Metas and Microsofts of the world may be leaning on specialty cloud providers at the moment to keep up with the rapid growth of AI demand, but they are also heavily investing in building their own facilities. I don't see a strong moat for Applied Digital that makes me think this is a long-term hold. Should you buy stock in Applied Digital right now?

US Army pools contracts into up to $10 billion Palantir deal
(Reuters) -The U.S. Army on Thursday said it was consolidating dozens of contracts into a single enterprise deal with Palantir, giving it volume-based discounts and the option to purchase up to $10 billion from the software provider over 10 years. The deal does not commit the Army to any new purchases, it said in a press release. The Army said the goal of this consolidation was to shorten procurement timelines and remove contract-related fees so it can deploy data integration and artificial intelligence tools faster.

Trump seeks pitches from bank chiefs on Fannie, Freddie stock offerings, Bloomberg News reports
(Reuters) -President Donald Trump is meeting with chiefs of major U.S. banks to discuss monetizing mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The pitches include a major public offering of stock, the report added. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been under federal conservatorship since 2008 following the financial crisis, during which both entities became insolvent amid the subprime mortgage meltdown. Since then, the companies have rebuilt capital reserves, repaid their treasury loans and returned to consistent profitability. Shares of both firms, currently traded on over-the-counter markets, have surged amid speculation over privatization plans. Trump first signaled intentions to take the companies public in May, posting on Truth Social that he was giving "very serious consideration" to the move. Trump met with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon last week at the White House and is meeting Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon on Thursday, the report said. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan is also expected to meet with Trump in the coming days, the report added, with talks likely to include other banking executives as well. Trump is asking the CEOs to provide ideas on strategies for taking the organizations public and exploring how their banks might participate in the process, the report said. Representatives for BofA and Goldman declined to comment, while the White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
