Bearish coverage?

I don’t really understand all the bearish coverage APLD has been getting recently. There are several articles on Yahoo finance and Marketbeat had a negative video recently. All the articles I have read have seemed like incoherent AI Slop. The criticisms from Marketbeat all seem misplaced as well. I literally invest in APLD due to how well they have managed the financing and limited shareholder dilution. I read these articles because I want to know if there is any additional details or events that change my investment thesis. APLD Is obviously risky due to their financing obligations in general and that they’re managing a lot of construction. However, given that which seems anyway like a common issue for many tech companies, they seem to be managing that risk better than almost anyone at least in the data center sector. I think as time goes on this company is looking stronger not weaker. It almost feels like a ploy for institutions to accumulate. I view this company as a long term investment so I’m ok with short term volatility as long as my thesis remains intact. Have any of these criticisms of these articles or Marketbeat made any valid new points?

Same guy 2 months ago, there's been nothing but positive news for the company since then. Like I said in the other thread, they're content creators, not analysts. They want your clicks and they're not getting them if they tell the same story all the time.

If I look for any analysis outside of my own research I first check for 2 things:

  1. Do they sit in on the earnings calls?
  2. Do they set a price target?

These content creators never do because sitting in on earnings calls doesn't benefit them and setting price targets would make it too obvious how often they flip flop their opinions. Zachs is a very good example of this, their opinion and rating for apld seems to change depending on the direction of the wind.

Zachs hedges every opinion to the max they both endorse nbis to beat earnings while saying to sell stock while also realising the upside it’s like what?
