The short version

In September 2025 Chris Sain presented Applied Digital (APLD) as one of their plays where "$1 turn into $100." In October 2025 they named it among plays they expected to move up the next day, and later grouped it with short-term "fun plays." For those they warned viewers not to "overstay your welcome." In November 2025 they listed it among stocks under $100 that could change viewers' lives. In January 2026 they gave a near-term price target of $40 when the stock was at 37, and they expected a pullback that would be a chance to buy. In September 2026 they told viewers without a position to consider it.

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Chris Sain's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is APLD's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-23. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
