  • Applied Digital Eyes Major Gains as Q3 Earnings Loom on April 8
    April 8, 2026, 4:49 PM EDT. Applied Digital (APLD) is set to report its fiscal Q3 earnings on April 8, with Wall Street projecting significant upside. Analysts from firms including Roth Capital and B. Riley Securities foresee share price targets ranging from $40 to $58, implying potential gains of up to 132% from the current $25 level. The company's recent achievement of 100 megawatts (MW) of data center capacity marks a key revenue milestone, transitioning from Bitcoin mining clients to long-term leased AI data centers.
