Applied Digital Hits Record High After Revenue Beat and $11 Billion CoreWeave Expansion

The rally reflects investor confidence in long-term AI leases that underpin an aggressive buildout.

Overview

  • Shares rose about 13% to $39.61 on Wednesday, setting a new high after a roughly 40% gain since last week and about 330% year to date.
  • Fiscal Q1 revenue reached $64.2 million, up 84% year over year and above estimates, with an adjusted loss of $0.03 per share that was narrower than expected.
  • CoreWeave expanded its lease to cover the full 400 megawatts at the Polaris Forge 1 campus, lifting expected contracted revenue to roughly $11 billion over 15 years.
  • The company reported 700 megawatts under construction and is progressing on the $3 billion, 280‑megawatt Polaris Forge 2 project in North Dakota that began in September 2025.
  • Analysts raised price targets, including Needham to $41, as commentary balanced growth prospects against high valuation, heavy capex needs, debt and potential dilution.
