Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) is one of the 10 Stocks With Shocking Overnight Gains.
Applied Digital soared to a new all-time high on Thursday, as investors devoured shares after the company closed a new data center leasing deal with the potential to lift total leasing revenue across its entire AI data center portfolio to as much as $73 billion.
This followed an expanded partnership with an existing US-based hyperscaler for the leasing of its Polaris Forge 3, with the potential to raise $18.2 billion in revenue if all renewal options are exercised. The base contract alone is expected to generate $7.5 billion in revenue.

Following the news, Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD) shares rose to their highest price of $48.57 in intraday trading before shaving a few cents to end the session up 21.51 percent at $48.02 each.
According to Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:APLD), the customer was the same tenant associated with the Delta Forge 1 lease.
The Polaris Forge 3 alone is designed to deliver 300 MW of critical IT load, backed by approximately 430 MW of grid-connected electrical power.
