IBM has taken a massive leap into the quantum computing market, and investors could reap the rewards of its investment into the futuristic technology, according to Barclays. The bank initiated coverage of the original technology stock name with an overweight rating, giving it s 12-month price target of $350, implying 18% upside from Friday's close. IBM rallied more than 8% Monday. In its most optimistic bull case, Barclays has a price target of $449 on IBM, or 51% above the last close. "We see mid single digit organic revenue growth and ongoing margin leverage, which should create a stable earnings compounder with a Quantum option — a good combination and hence our Overweight rating," analysts led by Raimo Lenschow wrote Monday in a report. "IBM has a compelling opportunity ahead around quantum computing that could accelerate growth if successful." IBM recently pledged to invest more than $10 billion in quantum computing over the next five years, with the goal of creating fault-tolerant quantum computers by 2029, according to a filing to federal securities regulators on May 28. The push follows Nvidia 's moves to lead advances in quantum computing. In April, the leading AI chipmaker unveiled Ising , a family of open-source artificial intelligence models to accelerate the adoption of the futuristic technology. A burgeoning industry The quantum computing market was worth just $1.4 billion in 2024, according to market research firm Grand View Research. But the emerging technology is growing quickly and already attracting outsized interest from investors and builders in the U.S. In May, the U.S. Department of Commerce said in a statement that it would grant $2 billion to nine domestic quantum computing companies. Meanwhile, hyperscalers such as Alphabet and Amazon have unveiled chips to power the emerging technology over the last few years. Yet quantum computing is still in its early days. IBM has time to act as an early mover, and possibly lift the shares, according to...

Wigmore Hall, London The Norwegian singer’s remarkable ability to inhabit a character, her warmth on stage and the control and tenderness she brought to the more intimate songs made this a very special recital Wigmore Hall is turning 125 , its director John Gilhooley was being granted honorary membership of the Royal Philharmonic Society, and everyone in the audience was shouted a free drink, but there was another cause for celebration on Sunday night. With Lise Davidsen, the world’s most in-demand opera singer, giving an all-Schubert recital it was a case of standing room only. The Norwegian soprano has a Rolls-Royce instrument, more than capable of filling a house the size of the Metropolitan Opera, but up close she brought other qualities to the table.
