Applied Digital shares drop 4% as debt concerns rise amid plans for new AI data centers.

Applied Digital's stock fell 4% following JPMorgan's downgrade of its bonds due to concerns over increasing debt from funding new AI data centers. Despite strong quarterly revenue growth and long-term contracts worth $36 billion, investors worry about the company's heavy borrowing to finance its expansion. Management remains confident in maintaining a strong balance sheet and securing favorable financing for upcoming projects. The next debt raise's pricing will be crucial for investor sentiment and the company's financial health.

Applied Digital trades at USD 19.71 on Pluang, down 3.33% as of Oct 16, 2026 21:02 WIB, with a market cap of $6.17B. TeraWulf holds steady at USD 12.63, up 0.08%, while Core Scientific dips slightly to USD 14.41, down 0.31%. Pluang order activity shows stronger buying interest in these stocks, especially TeraWulf and Core Scientific, with buy ratios above 80%.
