    • In recent months, Applied Digital has faced renewed pressure as rising 10-year Treasury yields increased expected financing costs and reduced the present value of its large contracted revenue backlog, even as its build program runs slightly ahead of stated capacity and long-term AI infrastructure commitments remain in place.
