Key developments

Applied Digital extended prior-session weakness as intraday reporting linked selling to debt and financing-cost concerns across AI data-center companies. Higher CoreWeave borrowing costs sharpened scrutiny of debt-funded infrastructure, while inflation reports reinforced expectations for further Federal Reserve tightening. Coverage placed Applied Digital within a broader AI-stock retreat, rather than identifying a new company financing announcement, and preceded the close.

Other posters disclosed opposing choices to add shares or sell.
