Another day and another double-digit share price for USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ: USAR) . The stock rose by as much as 11% by 2 p.m. today. There are two reasons behind the move today. Ongoing speculation that events in Venezuela would lead to favorable trading relations with the U.S., and an opportunity for USA Rare Earth to procure rare-earth elements to feed its its Stillwater, Oklahoma magnet producing facility, As discussed previously, Venezuela is rich in rare earth elements , USA Rare Earth needs non-China sourced materials to produce magnets in Stillwater, and generate the earnings and cash flow to support development of the Round Top deposit in Texas starting in 2028. Consequently, if, and it's a big "if", it can do so, then its business model would be significantly derisked. The fact is that the company and its peers, such as MP Materials, trade on speculation surrounding political developments related to China's dominant position in rare-earth materials and magnets. When trade tensions escalate on the matter, investors begin to factor in the possibility of government support and commercial investment by major companies seeking to secure a domestic supply of magnets.

Which of these speculative quantum computing stocks has a brighter future? D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +1.76%) and Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT +0.25%), more commonly known as QCi, represent two distinct ways to invest in the emerging quantum computing market. D-Wave is a more established provider of quantum processing units (QPUs), quantum systems, and quantum annealing services. QCi develops photonic quantum chips, which aren't widely used but might make quantum systems cheaper and more scalable. Over the past 12 months, D-Wave's stock nearly tripled, while QCi's stock tumbled 35%. Let's examine why D-Wave outperformed QCi and whether it remains the better investment. The differences between D-Wave and QCi Classical computers store zeros and ones separately in binary digits, also known as bits. Quantum computers store them simultaneously in qubits, which enables them to crunch larger amounts of data and process specific computing tasks at much faster rates. However, quantum computers are also larger, more expensive, and consume more power than classical computers. They also require more maintenance and output a higher percentage of errors. That's why they're still primarily used for niche research projects at universities and government agencies, rather than mainstream computing applications. To address those issues, quantum companies are trying to produce smaller, cheaper, and more scalable systems.

Key Points Ken Hohenstein exercised and sold 40,000 shares for a transaction value of $688,400 on Dec. 16, 2025. This transaction represented 2.2% of his total holdings at the time. The sale was executed directly, with no involvement of indirect entities, and resulted from an option exercise with immediate disposition. Trade size and cadence align with Hohenstein's recent pattern of 40,000-share transactions, reflecting reduced remaining capacity rather than an escalation in activity.

If you listen to the CES hype machine this year, you might think that robots are finally ready to take over your domestic duties. To some extent that’s true, but take note of the plural: there’s no single robot ready to take over all of your household chores yet, but an army of them just might. You might have had one of these single-purpose robots in your home for years already, of course. Robot vacuum cleaners have long been capable of automating a single, specific task, and it’s no surprise that it’s the same companies behind those bots pushing home robots forward now. Last CES, robot vacuums got arms, and 2026 is apparently the year of legs. Roborock announced the Saros Rover, a vacuum on two articulating, wheeled legs, which can jump over obstacles, navigate tricky terrain, and climb stairs. Dreame showed off its own legged concept vacuum, the Cyber X, at IFA last September, and it’s back at CES this week with its four tank tread legs in a design I could only describe as “extremely threatening.” More mundanely, Anker is launching a Eufy robovac that doubles as a diffuser, spraying fragrance as it goes. And almost every manufacturer in the industry is now launching robotic mowers and pool cleaners, expanding the navigation tech behind their vacuums into new domains. Roborock’s Saros Rover can climb stairs, but it sure looks silly doing it. Then there’s the wave of robot toys and pets, from Ecovacs’ fluffy puppy LilMilo to Tuya and Robopoet’s Fuzozo, a Star Trek Tribble that has its own cellular connection so you can get AI-enabled emotional support on the go. Or FrontierX’s Vex, an autonomous robot camera that follows your pet around to both film — and edit — a video about their day. Someone’s even made a real-life WALL-E, which does… something. That one doesn’t look all too practical, but it sure is cute. As for Samsung’s cute projector bot Ballie, which was supposed to go on sale in 2025, it’s still MIA, and Samsung hasn’t even mentioned it at this year’s show ...

Demand for robotic surgery is growing faster than the number of surgical robots being sold. If you are looking for stocks that you can buy and hold for the long term, you need to examine the quickly emerging field of robotic surgery. Intuitive Surgical (ISRG +4.76%) is one company that stands out as a pure play in the space. Not only was it one of the first to market with a surgical robot, but it also has a massive and still-growing installed base. Here's what you need to know if you're considering an investment in the stock. Demand for Intuitive Surgical's robots is strong At the end of the third quarter of 2025, Intuitive Surgical had placed 10,763 of its da Vinci surgical robot systems into service. That was up from 9,539 in the same quarter of 2024, a 13% increase. There is clearly strong demand for the company's high-tech medical devices. However, that demand isn't the only demand that's important to monitor. A 13% increase in da Vinci surgical robots operating in the world would, logically, result in a 13% increase in surgeries performed with those robots. Only that's not what happened. The number of surgeries performed with a da Vinci system increased 20% year over year. Doctors and patients alike clearly want to use surgical robots. That makes sense, given that the technology allows for less invasive procedures and better surgical outcomes. This technology represents a significant advance for the healthcare sector, which is likely to continue finding new applications. Advertisement In fact, Intuitive Surgical just received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for da Vinci systems to perform inguinal hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, and appendectomy procedures.

As 2026 begins, investor optimism toward quantum computing is reaching a new high, fueled by tangible technological progress and solid stock performance in 2025. Quantum pure-play stock D-Wave Quantum QBTS emerged as the standout, with its share price gaining 211% during the year, driven by growing interest in quantum annealing systems and government-linked deployments. Rigetti Computing RGTI also delivered a 45% gain, reflecting cautious investor confidence as the company advanced its gate-based roadmap despite ongoing execution risk. Notably, while the broader equity market remained fixated on artificial intelligence and its bellwether, NVIDIA NVDA, which gained 38.8% in 2025, both QBTS and RGTI outperformed the AI leader during this period. This relative outperformance highlights a growing willingness among investors to selectively price in real-world quantum progress rather than treat the sector purely as a long-dated option. 2025 Stock Comparison The key question heading into 2026 is whether this momentum can be sustained as quantum computing transitions from proof-of-concept milestones to scalable commercial deployment. Let’s find out. How 2026 Will Shape Up for the Broader Quantum Space? According to recent research by Global Growth Insights, the global quantum computing market is projected to expand from around $0.8 billion in 2025 to approximately $1.08 billion in 2026, implying a robust CAGR of about 35% over the next decade as enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-accessible quantum systems and hybrid quantum-classical workflows across finance, pharmaceuticals and industrial optimization. This trajectory is further strengthened by separate forecasts that suggest that the broader quantum computing market could witness a CAGR approaching 41.8% through 2030, driven by rising hardware deployments, expanding software ecosystems and intensifying public-private investment initiatives (Markets and Markets report).

An image of a Tesla humanoid robot in front of the company logo Around the World Photos via Shutterstock Tesla (TSLA) is facing a tough week, as its claim to be the global leader in electric vehicle (EV) sales no longer holds water. The company has been surpassed by Chinese EV maker BYD (BYDDY), which sold more than 2 million battery-powered vehicles in 2025. Meanwhile, Tesla sales dropped 9% from a year ago, falling to 1.64 million. Michael Burry, the former hedge fund manager who bet against the housing market as documented in the film “The Big Short,” has said shares of Tesla are “ridiculously overvalued.” However, Burry said in a separate post that he’s not shorting TSLA stock. Is Tesla a good long-term bet now? Or should investors be looking to take profits or embracing a short-term strategy? About Tesla Stock Tesla is facing a lot of heat — a study by economists at Yale University estimates that the carmaker lost at least 1 million sales from October 2022 to April 2025 because of CEO Elon Musk’s political activities. In addition, the company is being hurt by the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit on EV sales. That tension is reflected in the company’s stock performance. Shares are up 5% in the last year, but that’s underperforming the S&P 500 ($SPX), which has seen a 16% gain in the last 12 months. That’s a troubling trend, particularly when you consider that Tesla is a member of the “Magnificent Seven” grouping of stocks, whose valuation makes up more than a third of the entire index. Members of that group historically outperform the index, but in the last year, Tesla has not carried its weight. On top of that, Tesla has an eye-watering valuation, with its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio currently at 251. Tesla has always been expensive, as there’s a lot of enthusiasm priced into TSLA stock, but even its hefty five-year P/E is a bargain compared to the current valuation.
