UBS initiates with Buy rating and $24 target

UBS LAUNCHES COVERAGE ACROSS AI DATA CENTER NAMES, ALL AT BUY $CORZ: BUY, $24 PT Says AMD-backed capacity should diversify Core Scientific’s tenant base and improve its risk profile. With ~1.9GW of AMD expansion options, CORZ has a path toward a ~3GW platform. Financing clarity and identifying the end customers for AMD capacity are the next key catalysts. $CIFR: BUY, $23 PT Sees upside from additional lease announcements and greater pipeline clarity. Cipher has already signed 493MW of IT leases with Fluidstack/Google and Amazon, while near-term leasing opportunities could create an estimated ~$12/share of additional value. $APLD: BUY, $38 PT Sees additional lease signings, improving tenant quality and refinancing as key catalysts. The firm expects APLD’s tenant mix to shift from entirely high-yield today to majority investment-grade by early 2028, with a potential REIT conversion providing further optionality. $WULF: BUY, $24 PT Highlights TeraWulf’s 840MW of signed AI/HPC leases with Core42, Fluidstack/Google and Anthropic. The firm estimates recent deals have created ~$12M of equity value per MW and sees further upside from leasing its development pipeline. $HUT: BUY, $143 PT Points to Beacon Point energization, initial capacity deliveries and additional lease announcements as upcoming catalysts. It estimates recent deals have created $12M-$14M of NAV per MW, with substantial upside potential from leasing the remaining development pipeline.
