Applied Digital vs. IREN: Evaluating the Better Artificial Intelligence Stock to Buy for 2026
The article compares two AI infrastructure companies: Applied Digital (APLD), which designs next-generation data centers for AI workloads, and IREN (IREN), which is transitioning from crypto mining to AI cloud services. While Applied Digital has lower valuation multiples, IREN offers lower leverage (1.9x vs 2.9x debt-to-equity), vertical integration, and renewable energy advantages. The author recommends IREN despite both companies facing significant capital requirements and operational risks.
IREN Stock Plunged Last Week. Now Could Be a Good Time to Buy.
IREN's stock fell 15% after quarterly earnings missed expectations, despite strong AI data center fundamentals. The cloud computing provider is nearly sold out of capacity through 2026 with $4 billion in annualized revenue secured. AI cloud services revenue more than doubled sequentially, though total revenue declined 5% due to cryptocurrency mining exit. Analysts remain bullish with price targets suggesting 150%+ upside potential.
Why the Summer Slump is Setting Up Wall Street's Next Rally

How IREN Is Cashing In on the AI Data Center Boom
Iris Energy rebranded as IREN in late 2024, transforming from a Bitcoin miner into an AI infrastructure company. The company has secured major contracts worth over $15 billion with Microsoft, Nvidia, and other customers, operating 800+ MW of data center capacity. Analysts project IREN's revenue will surge from $510 million in 2025 to $6.20 billion by 2028, with the stock rallying over 270% since rebranding and appearing reasonably valued at 5x estimated 2028 EBITDA.
Why Iren Stock Topped the Market on Thursday
Iren stock rose nearly 3% after announcing it delivered its first AI compute deployment to Microsoft under a $9.7 billion five-year cloud services contract. The Horizon 1 deployment in Texas is the first of four stages, and Nvidia certified the system architecture. Iren maintained its capacity targets of 480 megawatts by 2026 and 1.2 gigawatts by 2027.
