Here’s whether Applied Digital Corporation Common Stock (APLD) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: strong 1-year return of +142.8%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-5.25% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-22.3%). Currently 46.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -4/7.
APLD is trading below its 200-day MA ($32.76) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 33.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +142.8% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 126.3%). The current 46.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
