The Dallas, Texas-based company reported revenue of $36.3 million for the quarter ended Aug. 31, compared with analysts' average estimate of $33.8 million, according to LSEG data.

July 6 (Reuters) - Shares of Applied Digital (APLD.O) slumped on Thursday after Wolfpack Research disclosed a short position in the digital infrastructure company and accused it of "an embarrassing and predictable stock promotion." Insiders at B Riley hold a 48.4% stake in Applied Digital and will exit their position as it becomes clear that the company's claims "make no sense," Wolfpack alleged. The short-seller said Stability AI, Applied Digital's biggest prospective AI customer, was also "dubious." Applied Digital, Stability AI and B Riley did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests seeking comment. Dallas, Texas-based Applied Digital is the latest target in a series of short-seller attacks that have shaken corporate America this year.

While the possibilities are still coming into focus, Needham sees at least one near-term opportunity for investors, and a stock to play it. In the near term, the infrastructure level is the place for investors, and Applied Digital offers an interesting opportunity, according to the firm. "We have been excited about Applied Digital, which is a bitcoin mining hosting provider that recently entered into hosting high performance compute (HPC) and AI," Needham analyst John Todaro told CNBC by email. "Given the similar power density requirements between bitcoin mining and hosting AI applications, we believe there is an attractive opportunity for Applied Digital and potentially other mining hosting providers to enter this space." It's still early days for both crypto and AI individually, although the AI hype may have better longevity from having been around for longer.
