$APLD

Summary

The analyst expresses a high-conviction bullish stance on multiple AI compute and power infrastructure stocks, highlighting recent acquisitions, revenue growth, funding, and upcoming index inclusions as catalysts for long-term gains.

Reasoning

The AI compute sector is growing rapidly with strong demand and execution catalysts such as acquisitions, large revenue backlogs, funding rounds, and new contracts. The 'Big Four' hyperscalers are increasing spending significantly, supporting the power-and-compute layer theme.

NeoCloud — THE AI COMPUTE LAYER ISN’T SLOWING DOWN The “neocloud” trade — power + GPUs + data centers monetized as AI compute — keeps printing fresh catalysts. Here’s why the sector remains a core piece of the Silicon-to-Substation thesis: $NBIS — The vertically integrated leader. Just closed its acquisition of Eigen AI, an inference and model optimization company . Set to join the Nasdaq-100 effective June 22  — forced index buying incoming. $CRWV — The scale king. Posted $2.078B in revenue last quarter with a massive $99.4B revenue backlog . Also joining the Nasdaq-100 on June 22 . $IREN — Bitcoin-mining roots, now asset-heavy AI infrastructure, converting power sites and data centers into AI/HPC capacity . $APLD — Power-and-construction execution trade. Surpassed 1 GW of contracted capacity after a long-term lease for a fourth AI Factory campus , plus a 400 MW deployment tied to CoreWeave. $CIFR — Fresh $810M raise funding its Stingray HPC buildout in Texas, riding a new Bernstein $32 price target. $WYFI — Momentum name with real fuel. Secured a $100M senior secured delayed-draw term loan to fund phase one of its AI-driven HPC data center in Madison, North Carolina . Also signed a five-year, $160M+ AI compute deal in the Paris region using NVIDIA GPUs . Stock has run from $24.55 to over $40 intraday in barely a week . $DGXX — Smaller-cap energy-to-AI pivot. Vertically integrated AI/energy infrastructure company deploying modular tier-3 data centers via its ARMS platform plus GPU compute through its NeoCloud portal . Guided FY27 revenue of $250M–$300M  after securing a transformational AI data center deal . $HIVE — Crypto-to-AI hybrid. Full-year revenue up 158% to $297.8M, with contracted HPC ARR at $35M . Planning a 320 MW AI “gigafactory” near Toronto that could host 100,000+ GPUs . Just closed a $220M sovereign AI GPU contract with Bell AI Fabric for Cohere . $KEEL — Formerly Bitfarms, now a pure infrastructure-layer bet. Closed $458M of convertible senior notes  to fund site development at Panther Creek, Sharon, and Moses Lake . CEO targeting three signed leases by year-end  — the next major re-rating catalyst. Macro tailwind: The “Big Four” hyperscalers are projected to spend $630–700B collectively in 2026, a 60%+ surge versus 2025 . The power-and-compute layer remains a high-conviction long-term theme — the question is execution, not demand. Not financial advice.
