Applied Digital (APLD) is gapping higher in premarket today primarily due to its recent strong fiscal Q1 2026 earnings report, which significantly beat analyst expectations. Key highlights driving the surge include:

Revenue jumped 84% year-over-year to $64.2 million, well above the consensus estimate of about $50 million.
The company's new AI high-performance computing (HPC) hosting segment contributed around $26 million in revenue.
Adjusted EPS loss of $0.03 per share was better than the expected loss of $0.13 per share.
Applied Digital is benefiting from heightened demand for AI infrastructure and data center capacity as AI workloads grow.
Investors are excited about the company's expansion into AI data centers, large lease agreements with hyperscalers, and positioning as a key player in the AI infrastructure boom.
The stock has rallied over 280% year to date, and the earnings beat has fueled further buying interest in premarket, sending shares sharply higher.

In short, APLD is surging due to robust revenue growth fueled by AI-related data center demand, earnings beats, and a strong market narrative around AI infrastructure. The surge reflects growing demand for AI infrastructure and data center capacity, with investors optimistic about Applied Digital's position as a key AI data center provider. This strong earnings performance, combined with market enthusiasm for AI-related stocks, is driving the upward gap in APLD’s premarket price.
