On September 19, APPLIED DIGITAL CORP rose 5.1% in regular trading, trading at $27.705 USD/share, with turnover of $393 million, extending a multi-day rally. The move was driven by Wells Fargo initiating coverage of the stock with an Overweight rating and a price target of $50, implying significant upside from current levels.
According to analyst consensus compiled by FactSet, the stock carries an average rating of Buy with a mean price target of $69.82. Earlier, B. Riley had raised its target to $75 from $66, maintaining a Buy rating. Morgan Stanley also initiated coverage in July with an Equalweight rating. The sustained analyst attention reflects growing institutional confidence in the company's AI data center infrastructure business.

Full-year revenue reached $611.3 million, up 167% year-over-year. The company also completed a $2.15 billion senior secured notes offering and secured a $550 million revolving credit facility, strengthening its financial position to support ongoing data center expansion.
