adventtr The initial public offering of quantum computing firm Quantinuum ( QNT ) is oversubscribed by a double-digit multiple of the number of shares available, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the plan. Quantinuum is owned by industrial conglomerate Honeywell ( HON ), and its offering is set to occur early next month. Honeywell and Quantinuum did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha. Quantinuum recently filed to offer 21.05M shares of its Class A common stock in its initial public offering and sees the price to be between $45 and $50 per share. At the top end of the range, Quantinuum would raise $1.05B and be valued at roughly $13B. The firm plans to apply to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “QNT.” According to the filing, Quantinuum generated 2025 bookings of $79.3M, with revenue rising to $30.9M from $23.0M in 2024, while net loss widened to $192.6M as the company continued investing heavily in growth and commercialization efforts. Bookings were $1.3M for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.9M for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The firm recently signed a deal with the U.S. federal government to receive R&D funding to address specific technology bottlenecks in the development of fault-tolerant trapped-ion quantum computers.

"The Real Part Of This Economy Is Not Doing Well": Ed Dowd Warns 'Just Wait 'Til The AI Bubble Bursts' Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com , Wall Street money manager and financial analyst Ed Dowd of PhinanceTechnologies.com warned at the beginning of April that the economy was already rolling over. He said “Private Credit Problems are Ending the Party.” Just 10 days ago, BlackRock and other firms with so-called private credit are locking up investors’ cash because of a wave of redemptions. Dowd predicted this, and the sagging economy is not going to be getting any better anytime soon. If you thought private credit was a drag on the economy, then the Iran war is going to be a boat anchor. Dowd says: “The longer this situation persists, the likelihood of oil drifting higher is going to happen. We have two scenarios, and one is oil peaks out at $125, and this gets resolved by May. Inflation would peak around 5%... We are at the point now, if this does not get resolved soon, oil prices could continue to drift higher... We have a second scenario where we get $200 to $250 a barrel oil, which was our worst-case scenario. If that happens, inflation will peak out at around 11% by our models ...” Martin Armstrong said two weeks ago that gasoline prices could go to $9 a gallon. Dowd agrees with Armstrong and says you might get $10 a gallon gas in a worst-case scenario. Dowd adds: “ I see oil going a lot higher, which will cause a tremendous amount of demand destruction and a recession that I think is coming anyway. It will be even deeper than we have forecasted. It will cause layoffs and economic growth to go into recessionary territory. The prices of commodities will collapse as deflation sets in. The solution to high commodity prices is high commodity prices because it creates demand destruction.” So, what’s the Fed going to do? Dowd thinks, “The Fed could raise rates to combat the headline inflation. My best guess is they do nothing at the June FOMC meeting . They are certai...

Boy_anupong | Moment | Getty Images Millions of federal student loan holders will have access to two new repayment options starting July 1, due to changes included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act . As a result of the legislation, some student loan repayment plans are also going away. The Repayment Assistance Plan, or RAP, is the U.S. Department of Education's latest income-driven repayment plan, or IDR, meaning it sets borrowers' monthly bills at a share of their income. The other new option is the Tiered Standard Plan, which includes fixed payments spread over several different timelines, based on a borrower's total debt.

"We're encouraging borrowers to carefully review all available repayment options before enrolling in a new plan," Herbin said. Here's what to know about the two new repayment options coming in July, and how to decide the right plan for you. RAP RAP is an IDR plan, but it has several features that differ from the Education Department's other IDR options. Congress created the first IDR plans back in the 1990s to make student loan borrowers' bills more affordable. Historically, the plans cap people's monthly payments at a share of their discretionary income and cancel any remaining debt after a certain period, typically 20 years or 25 years. Under RAP, monthly payments will typically range from 1% to 10% of your earnings; the more you make, the bigg...

Wolterk UnitedHealth Group’s ( UNH ) insurance unit, UnitedHealthcare, is facing a lawsuit from Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell over allegations that the company inflated diagnoses for low-income elderly patients to secure higher government payments. According to the complaint, UnitedHealthcare received at least $100M more than it should have from the Massachusetts Medicaid program over the past decade by making older adults appear sicker than they actually were, reported Thefly. The lawsuit claims the company used fraudulent diagnoses to boost reimbursements tied to patients enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid programs. The complaint also alleges that pressure to increase revenue and profit in the state’s Medicaid business became so intense that a top Massachusetts executive resigned. The case is one of the first major lawsuits tied to alleged “upcoding” involving dual-eligible patients, though similar scrutiny has already surrounded Medicare Advantage plans recently. The allegations could increase regulatory pressure on UnitedHealth Group ( UNH ) and potentially draw broader attention to Medicaid billing practices across the health insurance industry.

The main US derivatives regulator said perpetual futures contracts for cryptocurrencies could trade on registered onshore platforms if they meet certain conditions, bringing to America a popular trading instrument that has until now existed almost entirely overseas. The staff of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission released an advisory Friday that lays out guidelines on 24/7 trading, clearing and settlement, to help registered firms launch products and comply with US laws. The agency issued a separate policy statement , saying the agency will review contracts on a case-by-case basis. The staff advisory lays out key considerations around the potential risks of around-the-clock trading and how to mitigate them. Known as “perps,” perpetual futures are a type of derivative with no expiration date, made popular by the crypto industry. Derivatives referencing crypto assets may be well-suited for 24/7 trading but agricultural products may not, the advisory states. ‘Perps’ Offering Massive Leverage on Crypto Seen Coming to US Kalshi Inc. also got the nod from the regulator Friday to let investors access crypto perpetual futures on its platform that will be fully regulated by the CFTC. The company said it aims to launch crypto perpetuals on more than a dozen currencies pending regulatory reviews. Kalshi said similar offering on agricultural commodities will not be part of the offering. In April, Polymarket announced that it is launching perpetuals. “This marks Kalshi’s evolution from prediction market leader to next-gen derivatives exchange,” said Tarek Mansour, CEO of Kalshi. “Onshore, safe, and regulated perps will improve capital allocation and risk management for countless American businesses.” The products will be Kalshi’s first foray beyond the event contracts it offers on its prediction markets. Kalshi and its main competitor Polymarket already allow customers to wager on the future price of crypto tokens using their standard event contracts. Crypto trading has...

Key Points Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is considering launching a cloud computing business. Its first priority is using its compute capacity for its own needs. The stock could soar if it launches a cloud computing service. 10 stocks we like better than Meta Platforms › Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is typically considered one of the four big hyperscalers in the tech sector. These are companies that own and operate massive cloud computing and data storage businesses, and in the AI era, they’re all spending massive amounts on data centers and AI infrastructure. The other three major hyperscalers are Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet. Those three companies also represent the biggest cloud computing companies in the world, an industry that is now generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Meta, despite planning to spend more than $100 billion in capital expenditures this year, does not have its own cloud computing business. However, that could change. Image source: The Motley Fool. Is the Meta Cloud coming? At Meta’s annual shareholders meeting, Zuckerberg was asked about the company potentially launching its own cloud computing services and responded, “It’s definitely on the table.” Zuckerberg said the company has already been approached several times by outside companies asking for cloud computing capacity and services. Right now, a cloud computing service seems to be a backup plan for Meta as Zuckerberg said, “We haven’t done that yet because we think that we have a use for the compute,” as he’s made achieving superintelligence a top goal. However, he sees launching a cloud service as a viable option if the company has too much capacity. Why a Meta Cloud would be a smart move While most of Meta’s big tech peers have diversified ...
