Applied Digital: A Meltdown Worth A Buy - Crypto Miner Turned HPC Provider
Summary A 15Y take-or-pay contract backlog, expanded opportunities of up to $85.66B, and aggressive power procurements underscore Applied Digital's robust HPC monetization prospects. The nascent capacity of 100 MW as of FQ4 '26 and the outsized, multi-year backlog of 1,410 MW by 2028 imply their accelerated growth prospects. The recent meltdown has unlocked APLD's cheap FY2029 EV/Sales of 4.75x against the big 5 hyperscalers' median of 6.81x. Risks include elevated short interest, negative FCF, rising net debt, and ongoing equity dilution, making it suitable only for long-term, contrarian investors. APLD is initiated as a buy here, aided by the oversold technicals and the potential bottoming as per the historical uptrend line. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
