AI Insight: APLD Financial Trends

Revenue surged 206% year-over-year to $162M in Q1 2026, but operating losses deepened to -$58M — the widest in the dataset.

Revenue nearly tripled from $53M in Q1 2025 to $162M in Q1 2026, signaling rapid top-line scaling.

Operating loss widened sharply to -$58M in Q1 2026 from -$19M in Q1 2025, the largest operating deficit in the dataset.

Equity expanded dramatically from $125M in Q2 2024 to $1,581M in Q1 2026, reflecting significant capital raises.

Operating cash flow turned positive at $55M in Q1 2026, reversing -$16M in Q4 2025 — first meaningful positive OCF recorded.

Operating margin remains deeply negative (-36% implied in Q1 2026) despite rapid revenue growth — cost scaling is outpacing revenue.

Operating cash flow has been volatile — swinging from -$82M in Q3 2025 to +$55M in Q1 2026 — sustainability is unproven.

Revenue data is missing for Q2 2025; incomplete quarters limit full trend visibility and comparability.

AI Insight: APLD Ratio Trends

Applied Digital remains deeply unprofitable with ROIC deteriorating to -14.8% in Q1 2026 after a brief positive inflection in Q2 2025.

ROIC swung from -88.4% in Q2 2024 to a rare positive 15.7% in Q3 2024, then collapsed back to -14.8% by Q1 2026.

Operating margin has been consistently negative across seven of eight quarters, ranging from -24.4% to -63.2%, with no sustained recovery.

NPM improved from -147.5% in Q2 2024 to -11.4% in Q4 2025, suggesting some cost structure progress despite ongoing losses.

ROIC worsened to -14.8% in Q1 2026 from -8.5% in Q4 2025 — reversing the modest stabilization seen over the prior two quarters.

The lone profitable quarter (Q3 2024 ROIC: 15.7%) appears to be an outlier; monitor whether any recurring driver can replicate it.
