blackdovfx/iStock via Getty Images By Christopher Gannatti, CFA & Elvira Kuramshina Quantum Investing Is Moving from Concept to Ecosystem Artificial intelligence taught investors that the most compelling thematic opportunities often appear first in the bottlenecks. Before every application monetizes, capital moves toward the infrastructure that makes the application possible. Quantum computing may be earlier, noisier and more technically uncertain than AI, but the logic is similar: Find the constraints, then find the companies attempting to solve them. Of course, for quantum, the constraints are different than they are for AI. The primary issues concern qubit modality, error correction, coherence, photonic interconnects, control systems, cryogenics, quantum-safe encryption, quantum networking and software that can translate classical problems into quantum circuits. 1 The investable universe is therefore not one industry. It is a stack. That is the lens through which we approached the May 2026 rebalance. Our strategy does not attempt to declare a single winner in quantum. It broadens the portfolio around the companies and technologies that could matter as quantum moves from research milestone to commercial architecture. Xanadu as a Signal This is a notable addition at 2.93%. It signals that photonic quantum computing is becoming a more explicit part of the portfolio’s quantum hardware thesis. The importance of diversification across qubit modalities is increasingly recognized even at the government level. In April 2026, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) 2 launched its Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program, which draws a direct parallel to classical computing's multi-processor architecture, arguing that just as central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) each serve distinct roles, future quantum systems will likely need to combine trapped ions, neutral atom...

For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – May 27, 2026 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Nasdaq 100 Index ETF QQQ, Micron MU, SanDisk SNDK, NVIDIA NVDA, MicroStrategy MSTR and Qualcomm QCOM. Memory Supercycle: Why MY & SNDK Are Set for a Grand Finale The current technology bull market is nothing short of spectacular. Despite inflation, trade, and geopolitical concerns, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index ETF is up a staggering 30% from its late March lows and is working on its ninth weekly gain out of the previous 10. What’s driving tech stocks? The AI boom. The current AI boom is witnessing unprecedented spending, with AI big tech hyperscalers spending ~$750 million in capital expenditures (CAPEX) this year on AI data centers and infrastructure (with expectations for more than $1 trillion a year in 2027 and 2028). Memory Sector Experiences Supercycle The breathtaking AI spending has reverberated throughout the U.S. and global economies. However, certain industries have benefited more than others. Thus far, the biggest beneficiaries of the AI buildout have been high-performance memory companies like Micron and SanDisk. AI models mostly operate on NVIDIA’s best-in-breed graphics processing units (GPUs). These GPUs take complex pieces of data, train them, and make sense of them. These AI models (like large language models) rely on billions of algebraic variables called weights. To process a single prompt, the GPU must continuously reference these weights. Standard memory solutions do not store enough data to enable AI training, but SNDK and MU’s technologies do. Memory Demand Outstrips Supply Currently, global demand for memory is so robust that most Wall Street analysts predict severe supply shortages for at least 2 years. These supply shortages have triggered unprecedented pricing power for SNDK and MU. As a result, Zacks Consensus Estimates expect explosive EPS growth for these companies. Below is a look at the Zacks Consensus Estimates for SanDisk: SNDK/MU:...

For two years, some of them never touched the ground. Locked in tiny wire cages and destined for a life of being drained of bile through syringes or surgically implanted taps, the 27 Asiatic black bears rescued in northern Laos this week had known almost nothing of what it means to be a bear. Now, for the first time in years, some are finally drinking clean water freely. Others are feeling solid earth beneath their paws for the first time. Advertisement The rescue, completed this week by conservation group Free the Bears with the backing of the Laotian government, is believed to be the largest bear bile farm closure in Southeast Asian history. Moon bears seen in cages at the illegal bear bile farm in Laos. Photo: Free the Bears The facility, located in northern Laos and owned by a Chinese national, had registered itself as a zoo to evade regulatory scrutiny. In practice, it was an extraction operation: a commercial enterprise farming Asiatic black bears, better known as moon bears, for their bile.

Key Takeaways Amazon (AMZN) remains a compelling "Buy" with significant upside, driven by accelerating AWS growth fueled by AI investments and robust performance in its e-commerce and advertising segments. Monster Beverage (MNST) presents a "Buy" opportunity, benefiting from strong technical indicators, positive analyst sentiment, and consistent earnings beats, positioning it for continued upward momentum. Quanta Computer (2382.TW), while not directly traded on US exchanges, is a critical AI infrastructure play, fairly valued with a strong dividend, making it an attractive tactical holding for investors with access to the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Is Amazon's AI Bet Paying Off, and What Does it Mean for AMZN Stock? Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is demonstrating that its aggressive investments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing are yielding substantial returns, solidifying its position as a top-tier growth stock. The company's recent Q1 2026 earnings report, delivered on April 29, 2026, showcased impressive financial strength, with net sales climbing 17% year-over-year to $181.5 billion, comfortably surpassing consensus estimates. This performance was largely propelled by its Amazon Web Services (AWS) segment, which saw revenue surge 28% year-over-year to $37.6 billion, marking its fastest growth rate in over three years and achieving an annualized run rate of $150 billion. This acceleration in AWS is a direct result of increasing demand for AI workloads and expanded partnerships, including collaborations for cloud-based industrial intelligence solutions. The strategic commitment to AI is evident in Amazon's capital expenditures, with management guiding for a 50%+ increase in 2026 capex to $200 billion, primarily directed towards data centers and custom AI hardware. While this substantial spending initially caused a 5.5% drop in the stock after the February 5, 2026, earnings report due to concerns about margin compression, the subsequent Q1 results have la...
Another quarter, another set of blowout Nvidia (NVDA 0.38%) earnings. However, the market seemed to shrug off the results of the world's largest company.

Another quarter, another set of blowout Nvidia (NVDA 0.38%) earnings. However, the market seemed to shrug off the results of the world's largest company. This is incredible because there has never been a multi-trillion-dollar company growing as large as Nvidia is, and there seems to be some hesitation to give Nvidia the premium valuation it deserves, even if all signs point to a strong future. The reality is, Nvidia's stock is pretty cheap right now, and as the year progresses, I think the market will warm up to Nvidia's stock and send it much higher. If that occurs, then now is the perfect time to buy the stock, and investors may be surprised at where the stock price could be by the end of 2026. Nvidia's success will be tied to capital expenditure plans Nvidia's GPU business success is almost out of its hands. Nvidia has consistently brought the best technology to market, and it's up to the artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscalers to decide how much money they are willing to spend next year on data center construction. This will drive Nvidia's success. While it may be frustrating for a company's own success to be largely out of its hands, the reality is that the AI hyperscalers are spending more than Nvidia's managers could ever have dreamed.

Nvidia expanded that to all AI hyperscalers by informing investors that it expects data center spending to top $1 trillion in 2027. That's a major milestone, but Nvidia expects that spending to rise to $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030. With Nvidia's core market opportunity potentially rising 5 times from 2026 to 2030, there's huge room for growth with the stock. Nvi...
