APLD
Applied Digital Corporation
Applied Digital combines very strong recent price momentum with loss-making operations and deeply negative free cash flow, creating a contrasting technical and fundamental profile. Multiple bullish technical signals and a close near the top of the 52-week range point to an aggressive upside trend, while elevated short interest and heavy capital intensity highlight material risk and volatility considerations.

Why AI’s Next Bottleneck May Be Power, Not Chips

Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness LP fund has doubled its equity exposure to $13.68B, positioning heavily in physical AI infrastructure and energy suppliers while hedging semiconductor exposure. The fund's thesis argues that power and electricity, not chips, represent the real bottleneck for AI scaling. The portfolio employs a barbell strategy: aggressive longs in energy infrastructure (Bloom Energy, Bitcoin miners turned AI operators) and optical components, combined with significant put hedges on semiconductor names to protect against potential sector rotation.
