Applied Digital reported Q4 earnings and revenue above expectations, highlighting its role as a major beneficiary of the AI-driven data center investment boom. The company's gross margin is improving due to a shift toward higher-margin data center lease revenues and full operation of its Polaris Forge campus. With a contracted backlog of $35.7 billion, potentially rising to $85.7 billion with lease extensions, Applied Digital has strong long-term growth visibility. Analysts recommend building a position after recent price corrections, citing secular capital expenditure trends and potential for stock revaluation.
