## Elevator Pitch

- As a small stock in the high-growth business of data centers, Applied Digital is supposed to be growing fast. But it is posting a lackluster performance on revenues and margins.
- I think management's plan to separate the Cloud Services business may be a questionable move that may exacerbate growth challenges.
- APLD's customer concentration metrics are getting much riskier, and there are indications that it may have lost at least 1 customer in the last quarter.
- The stock trades at a high premium valuation, which is hard to justify given weak fundamentals and bearish technicals vs SPX500.
- Potential upside exists if APLD secures a hyperscale customer for its Ellendale data center, but this is starting to appear less and less likely to occur.
