Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images lululemon athletica ( LULU ) has long been praised as a brand that made athletic wear fashionable. CNBC noted that the company had helped bring a certain level of appeal to this type of apparel all the way back in 2019. Although lululemon's CEO tried to balk at the idea that the company was defined by the term "athleisure," that is precisely the aesthetic that this brand is synonymous with in the minds of much of the public. Regardless of what you think the appropriate vocabulary to describe lululemon is, the fact remains that the company was a darling of Wall Street for many years and produced significant returns during that time: Data by YCharts Naturally, it doesn't take an eagle eye to notice that things have not been going quite as well for the lululemon trade lately. I believe that there are significant reasons for this, and I think that investors should steer clear of this stock as growth stalls. North American Growth Is Sputtering lululemon stock has historically carried valuations representative of the double-digit growth that it enjoyed for many years. Unfortunately, that growth story seems to be fading rapidly. In the Q4 2025 earnings report , management noted that it expects North American revenue to decline by between 1% and 3% in 2026. Given that this is lululemon's most developed market, it is concerning that growth there could be in such decline. That wasn't the only troubling piece of data in the report, though. The company also reported the following: U.S. revenue fell by 1% YoY Operating margins declined from 28.9% to 22.3% Earnings per share dropped from $6.14 to $5.01 YoY Each of these headlines should be troubling by itself, but when you put them all together, you can start to see why I have serious concerns about lululemon's potential. Management has suggested that it believes there will be improvements in the North American numbers throughout the course of 2027, but that does little to calm fears a...

IonQ (NYSE:IONQ), a developer of trapped-ion quantum computing systems, closed Thursday at $58.89, up 12.24%. The stock moved higher after enthusiasm over a new $2 billion U.S. quantum funding plan and IonQ’s record Q1 results, and investors are watching how sustained demand and government support shape long-term quantum adoption. The company’s trading volume reached 57.7 million shares, which is about 103% above compared with its three-month average of 28.3 million shares. IonQ went public in 2021 and has grown 445% since its IPO. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) inched up 0.17% to 7,445.72, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) added 0.09% to finish at 26,293.10. Within quantum computing, industry peers D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) closed at $25.74 (+33.37%) and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) finished at $22.04 (+30.57%) as investors rotated back into high-growth quantum names. What this means for investors IonQ shares climbed along with other quantum-computing stocks after news of a $2 billion U.S. government funding plan for the industry, even though IonQ was not listed as a direct recipient. This news sparked fresh interest in quantum companies overall, while IonQ’s recent results gave investors specific growth figures to consider alongside the broader sector rally. IonQ posted record first-quarter revenue of $64.7 million, raised its 2026 revenue outlook to between $260 million and $270 million, and increased its remaining performance obligations to about $470 million. Investors will be watching to see if IonQ turns that backlog into revenue and completes its planned SkyWater acquisition, which would give it more control over semiconductor manufacturing and packaging for its quantum hardware.

(RTTNews) - Google Gemini under Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) is joining forces with CapCut to incorporate video and image editing features right into Google's AI assistant platform, further enhancing Gemini's suite of creative AI tools. CapCut has shared that soon, users will be able to utilize its editing features to edit photos and videos via the Gemini app. However, there's no word yet on which specific features will be available or if any of these tools will come with a price tag. This partnership aims to blend Gemini's conversational AI abilities with CapCut's editing tech, which already boasts AI-driven design, image generation, and automated video editing. CapCut, owned by ByteDance, has been ramping up its AI capabilities lately as the competition heats up in the creator tools space. The app faces rivals like Instagram Edits and a range of other AI-powered editing services aimed at content creators and social media users. This isn't the first time Google and CapCut have collaborated. Back in late 2025, Google Photos introduced an "edit with CapCut" shortcut in its annual recap feature, letting users send photos directly into CapCut with exclusive templates. As of now, there's no fixed date for when the Gemini integration will launch, with both companies simply stating that it will be available "soon."

SpaceX's new Starship V3 rocket is seen docked at the Starbase during the 12th test flight on May 21, 2026 as seen from South Padre Island in Texas. Ronaldo Schemidt | Afp | Getty Images SpaceX is readying for the 12th test flight of its massive Starship rocket on Thursday, a landmark launch ahead of the company's IPO that's expected next month. The launch will represent the debut of Starship V3, which "is designed to deliver 100 metric tons to Earth's orbit in a fully reusable configuration while enabling rapid turnaround times akin to commercial aviation," SpaceX said in its IPO prospectus on Wednesday. A 90-minute launch window is set to open at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the event can be viewed by webcast. The launch could be delayed by weather or other disruptions. Elon Musk's reusable rocket maker has spent more than $15 billion on its Starship program, according to Wednesday's filing. The company says Starship is key to launching more satellites into orbit to build out its Starlink constellation at a faster pace than it's been able to using Falcon 9 rockets. Starlink delivers wireless internet services to consumers, businesses and government agencies. The latest version of the Starship rocket will be launching from a newly designed pad at SpaceX's facility in Starbase, Texas, an official company town previously known as Boca Chica. The test flight will likely mark the company's last chance to dazzle investors with a Starship launch before shares hit the public market. Last year, SpaceX's space segment generated revenue of $4.1 billion and recorded an operating loss of $657 million. The company counts on Starlink for a hefty amount of revenue and all of its profits. The connectivity unit, which consists mostly of Starlink, brought in sales of $11.4 billion and operating income of $4.4 billion in 2025. That accounted for 61% of the company's total sales last year, and 69% in the first quarter. About its space business, SpaceX said in its prospectus that its "growth stra...

Investors have gotten used to one thing in particular from Nvidia (NVDA 1.78%): blowout earnings reports. Thanks to the company's position as the leader in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market, it's delivered positive earnings surprises and record numbers quarter after quarter. And the recent quarter wasn't an exception. In Nvidia's report after market close on May 20, it announced revenue and profit that surpassed analysts' estimates and spoke of soaring demand for its chip systems. The tech giant also offered plenty of clues that support the idea of enormous growth in the quarters to come. Considering all of this, is Nvidia -- a stock that's soared 1,400% over five years -- a buy after its blowout earnings report? History offers a strikingly clear answer. Nvidia's record revenue Before we consider this key clue from history, though, let's take a look at some of the important points from Nvidia's fiscal 2027 first-quarter report. The company reported an 85% increase in revenue to a record of more than $81 billion, for the third straight quarter of year-over-year acceleration. Net income on a GAAP basis soared 211% to $58 billion, and gross margin topped 74%. Nvidia beat analysts' estimates on the top and bottom line as it's done quarter after quarter. These numbers look great, but what's even more encouraging is the company's message. Demand remains strong for Nvidia's Blackwell system, its current major platform designed to excel at inference or the "thinking" models go through to solve problems. Nvidia says hyperscalers and frontier model creators each have put hundreds of thousands of Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) to work. Blackwell came at just the right time, as the AI focus shifted to inference. And now, Nvidia's next update -- the Vera Rubin system -- may be about to follow suit. Central processing units (CPUs) play an important role in powering agentic AI, seen as the next growth driver for AI. This is the software that actually perform...
