Inside Creative House/iStock via Getty Images My Hold rating on Applied Digital ( APLD ) in December last year was based on a rerating driven by narratives largely done and the stock requiring execution proof ahead. The uncertainty at the time was whether demand could translate into sustainable and high-quality lease income. I was also keeping an eye on high-cost debt, preferred equities, and ongoing dilution - and how much of the projected NOI would translate to shareholder returns. The recent Q3 FY2026 results move the story closer to a Buy than where we were in December. I see clearer evidence of scaling in recurring lease revenue, not just one-time fit-out contributions. Financing conditions have also improved with lower borrowing costs and stronger counterparty setups. Overall execution visibility also looks better with defined timelines for capacity and revenue ramps. However, I still view Applied Digital as a Hold, because valuations already embed a lot of future upside, which is especially a constraint in current market conditions (not as willing to underwrite long-duration growth as in 2025). The EV to forward revenue is slightly higher than even levels seen in December 2023, signaling a potential rollover to slightly lower forward estimates. So, the ~8% drop in share prices since the time of my writing has not been due to any multiple compression at all. The story has indeed graduated from requiring proof of demand, but it now needs to prove the second layer that is important for a Buy - that is equity-level returns after accounting for leverage and capital intensity. Continued reliance on external financing, dilution risks, and timing uncertainties around new leases prevent a full upgrade - the setup is improving, but a next layer of confirmation is still required. Data by YCharts Material Changes Confirmed in Q3 One of the biggest positives for Applied Digital that came out from the Q3 earnings call is the shift in revenue quality, addressing one of the ...

Vista Equity Partners ’ credit-investing arm is raising $250 million for a new fund that will buy the beaten-down debt of software companies, seeking to capitalize on recent selloffs tied to concerns over artificial intelligence. The Vista Tactical Credit Fund will target a mix of private and broadly syndicated loans, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. It will focus primarily on software and technology companies serving the finance, compliance and health-care end-markets, and in particular those with a strong moat against AI disruption, the person said. The new fund could potentially purchase the debt of Vista-backed companies under the right circumstances, the person added, asking not to be identified because the information is confidential. The fundraising comes amid a broad downturn in software-related assets as investors weigh the potential disruption from advancements in AI. The Morningstar LSTA US Software & Services Loan index slid 5% in the first quarter on a total return basis, its biggest drop since 2022. Vista Credit, which manages more than $10 billion, is targeting a first close at the end of June, the person added. A representative for the firm declined to comment.

In a LinkedIn post last month, Vista Chief Executive Officer Robert Smith said software-linked volatility in public markets “is being driven primarily by sentiment and uncertainty, not by fundamental performance.” The core features that make enterprise software mission-critical for businesses remain well intact, he said, while retention rates for Vista portfolio companies are holding strong.

KanawatTH/iStock via Getty Images Nutanix ( NTNX ) shares plunged on Friday after JPMorgan downgraded the company to Neutral from Overweight, driven by expectations of a volatile macro environment in the second half of 2026 and through 2027, limiting the firm’s near-term growth. The brokerage expressed concerns over ongoing supply chain disruptions, customers re-prioritizing IT spending amid rising technology costs, and a potential pullback and digestion in overall IT spending following the pull-forward of IT budgets early in 2026. Shares of the firm declined nearly 6% to $34.75 during early trading hours. The brokerage also reduced its price target on the company to $44, representing a downside of 20% from its earlier target. “While the inexpensive valuation for NTNX shares at this time leaves open the opportunity for significant upward momentum in the shares from potential partnerships to position the company for enterprise AI investments, we believe the improvement in the fundamentals will take more time and are opting to step into a Neutral rating while waiting for the same,” analysts led by Samik Chatterjee wrote in the note. However, Nutanix’s core hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) offerings continued to be a positive driver, the analysts noted, particularly with expanding OEM partnerships, along with potential growth from increasing attach rate of portfolio solutions. During its investor day earlier this week, the San Jose, California-based firm announced major OEM partnerships with NetApp, Lenovo, Dell and Cisco. It also launched a turnkey Agentic AI platform for customers that streamlines the deployment, management, and scaling of AI applications across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. Nutanix guided for mid-to-high-teens growth in both revenue and ARR by FY29, supported by its medium-term growth drivers. The company also expects operating margins to reach the mid-to-high 20% range, with free cash flow margins projected in the high 20% by FY29....

Welcome back to another edition of FOIA Files. I thought it was a cruel April Fool’s joke when on April 1, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel publicly released a bombshell 52-page opinion . It said that the Presidential Records Act is “unconstitutional” and that President Donald Trump “need not further comply with its dictates.” Just a few days earlier, I received another set of documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the probe into Trump’s improper retention of presidential and classified records after he left the White House in 2021. Although the legal opinion doesn’t explicitly say the OLC opinion is linked to the fight over the Trump White House records, the timing indicates the two might be directly connected. The OLC opinion now threatens the preservation of history itself. If you’re not already getting FOIA Files in your inbox, sign up here . In December 1974, four months after Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency, Congress passed emergency legislation: the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act . It was swiftly signed into law by President Gerald Ford. The law was enacted to allow the federal government to seize Nixon’s presidential materials in response to concerns that he would destroy records and tape recordings in the wake of Watergate , which forced Nixon’s resignation. The Preservation Act was the precursor to the broader Presidential Records Act , or PRA. Signed into law in 1978, the PRA established that presidential records belong to the public and must be preserved and turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration. After a president (and vice president) leaves office, the records are to be eventually made available to the public through the FOIA. For nearly half a century, beginning with Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the Presidential Records Act has opened a window into the inner workings of the White House, allowing historians, journalists and the public to better understand how ...

Hanizam/iStock via Getty Images By David W. Berson, Ph.D. The March CPI jumped by 0.9 percent (equal to market expectations), bringing the 12-month trend rate up to 3.3 percent – the fastest pace since September 2023. This was largely an energy event, with energy prices up by 10.9 percent for the month (gasoline spurting by 21.3 percent and fuel oil by 30.7 percent). Fortunately, food prices were unchanged for the month, suggesting that there was not much linkage of higher energy prices into food costs (from, for example, rising fertilizer costs). The core CPI (removing the volatile food and energy components) rose by 0.2 percent, a bit less than market expectations. Even with modestly less core inflation than expected for the month, the trend rate rose from 2.5 percent (actually 2.47 percent, so almost 2.4) to 2.6 percent. The good news in the report is that it is difficult to see much, if any, spillover from the jump in energy costs into other prices – at least not yet. The longer energy prices remain elevated, however, the more likely it is that other prices will be boosted – pushing the core CPI (and the core PCE price index, which the Fed follows more closely) higher. Yesterday’s release of the February PCE inflation data showed that this broader measure of inflation remained stuck at around 3.0 percent. The Fed will almost certainly stay on the sidelines until the full impact of the surge in energy prices – and their spillover into broader inflation – is clearer. The longer energy price gains are outsized, the more likely it is that they will leak into other parts of the economy, pushing core inflation higher. How high and for how long would it take for the Fed to tighten monetary policy? Too soon to tell. And what happens if the reduction in consumer purchasing power from higher energy prices slows economic growth – a negative supply shock that could push the economy into recession (although that is still not the most likely course at this time)? Would the Fe...
