Key Points The Trump Administration plans to award $2 billion in grants and take equity stakes in nine quantum computing companies. Despite having the best name in the industry, Quantum Computing stock is not one of them. 10 stocks we like better than Quantum Computing › Valued at only $2.2 billion in market capitalization, Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT) stock may have the best name in the quantum computing industry -- but it's still one of the smaller stocks in this industry. Despite what you may be seeing happen with the stock price today, however, I fear Quantum Computing may be destined to stay small. Shares of Quantum Computing leapt 16% through 11:05 a.m. ET Thursday morning, after The Wall Street Journal reported the Trump Administration plans to award $2 billion in grants to nine quantum computing companies and take equity stakes to secure its investment in each. 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 » Money for thee, but not for me That sounds like good news, but here's the thing: Quantum Computing is not one of these nine companies. Instead of giving money to Quantum Computing, the Trump Administration will award $100 million each to its rivals D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), $375 million to Globalfoundries (NASDAQ: GFS), and a cool $1 billion to International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM)! A handful of privately owned companies will split the remainder of the $2 billion. And Quantum Computing itself will get none. What does this mean for Quantum Computing stock? So how is this good news for Quantum Computing stock, if it's getting no money, and everyone else is getting a lot of money -- plus backing from the U.S. government that will give it an interest in seeing Quantum Computing's rivals succeed (and perhaps that Qu...
Shares of Arm Holdings (ARM +11.93%) were moving higher today on news from Nvidia (NVDA 1.68%) first-quarter earnings report last night.

Shares of Arm Holdings (ARM +11.93%) were moving higher today on news from Nvidia (NVDA 1.68%) first-quarter earnings report last night. While Nvidia stock was actually down this morning, one of the big news items from its report was that Nvidia said it expected $20 billion in CPU revenue this year, with much of that coming from its Vera CPU, which is licensed from Arm. Arm investors cheered the news, as it should translate into increased royalty revenue for the company, which is best known for its battery-efficient CPU architecture. As of 10:47 a.m. ET, Arm Holdings stock was up 8.6%. Arm gets another leg up Agentic AI and the need for greater inference are driving demand for CPUs, and Nvidia said that the new Vera CPU, which pairs with the new Rubin GPU platform, will open up a $200 billion total addressable market for the company. It also forecast $20 billion in total CPU revenue this year, which sets it up to become the world's leading CPU supplier. Nvidia also said that Vera was built on custom Arm cores and delivers 1.5x faster performance per core and 4x more density per rack compared to x86 alternatives from AMD and Intel. Expand NASDAQ : ARM Arm Holdings Today's Change ( 11.93 %) $ 30.62 Current Price $ 287.35 Key Data Points Market Cap $273B Day's Range $ 266.27 - $ 288.50 52wk Range $ 100.02 - $ 288.50 Volume 532K Avg Vol 8.4M Gross Margin 94.08 % What it means for Arm Arm doesn't make its royalty rates public, but Vera is using the Arm v9, the latest version of its CPU, which has double the royalty rate of the v8. Arm also said data center revenue more than doubled in its most recent quarter, and it expects that segment to soon be its biggest, topping smartphones, so Nvidia's $20 billion forecast could be significant for Arm. Though it's difficult to quantify, Nvidia's push into CPUs is a clear win for Arm. It's not surprising to see the stock moving higher on the news.

BalkansCat Birkenstock Holding ( BIRK ) soared in late Thursday morning trading after the footwear company announced that it entered into a $250M accelerated share repurchase with Goldman Sachs ( GS ). CEO Oliver Reicher said short-term market dynamics have resulted in what the company believes is a strong disconnect between the share price and the strength of the underlying fundamentals. "We believe deploying our substantial cash position toward repurchasing our own shares represents the most attractive use of capital in the current environment. Given the volatile environment of the capital markets, we will continue evaluating market conditions to take advantage of further opportunities for share repurchases in the future," he noted. Looking ahead, Birkenstock ( BIRK ) said it is confident it will achieve revenue growth of 13% to 15% annually in constant currency while maintaining strong margins and strong free cash flow generation.

Tesla is navigating falling margins, heavy AI and robotaxi spending and intense EV competition after its latest quarterly report, while the stock remains highly watched by US and global investors. Tesla, Inc. is in a transition phase after its most recent quarterly earnings showed sharply lower profits and margin pressure, while management emphasized long?term bets on autonomy, artificial intelligence and next?generation vehicle platforms, according to the company’s first?quarter 2024 results published on 04/23/2024 and related shareholder materials on the investor website (Tesla Investor Relations as of 04/23/2024). The figures and comments highlight a tension between short?term financial headwinds and the ambition to position Tesla as a software? and robotics?driven technology business rather than solely an electric?vehicle manufacturer.

FinkAvenue/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A couple of months ago I was close to calling lululemon athletica ( LULU ) a sell. The Americas' business, 71% of revenue, was shrinking. Earnings were guided to fall. The founder was at war with the board. None of that has changed. What changed is the price. LULU has gone from above $300 to about $124, down more than 40% this year and 62% over the last...
FinkAvenue/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A couple of months ago I was close to calling lululemon athletica ( LULU ) a sell. The Americas' business, 71% of revenue, was shrinking. Earnings were guided to fall. The founder was at war with the board. None of that has changed. What changed is the price. LULU has gone from above $300 to about $124, down more than 40% this year and 62% over the last 12 months. So why am I not pressing the short? Because the math that made it a sell at $170 doesn't work at $124. A debt-free brand throwing off $1.6B of operating cash, trading under 10x earnings, with a new CEO arriving and an activist forcing the board to defend itself, is not something I want to be short into. It's a hold. Too cheap to sell, too broken to buy. How LULU Makes Money LULU sells premium athletic apparel, mostly through its own stores and website, which is why its margins look nothing like its peers. Its trailing EBITDA margin of 24.58% tops Aritzia ( ATZ:CA ) at 19.94% and dwarfs Nike ( NKE ) at 7.84%, Urban Outfitters ( URBN ) at 12.01%, and American Eagle ( AEO ) at 10.01%. YCharts Women's gear is 63% of sales, men's 24%, and accessories the rest. The company splits into three regions: the Americas at 71% of revenue, China Mainland at 16%, and the rest of the world at 13%. It runs 476 stores in the Americas, 172 in China, and 163 elsewhere. Selling direct keeps gross margin at 56.6%, well above the 38.8% sector median. That margin is the whole reason this is a quality business worth arguing over rather than a broken retailer worth ignoring. What's Broken Here's the problem. The Americas, by far the biggest piece, posted a 3% comparable-sales decline in FY2025, and management guided the region down another 1% to 3% this year. Two straight years of falling comps in the home market, and no floor in sight. Full-year revenue still grew 5% to $11.1B, but only because China Mainland jumped 28.9% and the rest of the world added 15.6% . International is carrying ...

TebNad QatarEnergy said Thursday it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Egyptian government and Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) to study the potential development and commercialization of gas discoveries in Cyprus through Egypt’s existing natural gas infrastructure. The preliminary agreement will set up a commercial framework to secure the greatest benefits from natural gas resources in both Egypt and Cyprus and reinforce Egypt's position as a key energy trading hub in the eastern Mediterranean region, according to QatarEnergy. The MoU "highlights Egypt’s role as a potential hub for Eastern Mediterranean gas, supporting deeper integration between Egypt and Cyprus in the field of natural gas while optimizing the utilization of existing infrastructure," QatarEnergy said. Egypt's liquefaction plants, which can convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas for export, have long been underutilized.

Paul Campbell/iStock via Getty Images Introduction I’ve been interested in Blue Owl Capital Inc. ( OWL ) for a while now, ever since I covered Ares Capital ( ARES ). The asset manager has since seen brutal months, even worse than the broader industry, as it sits at near its 52-week lows, as the Tricolor and First Brands collapses in late 2025 triggered a re-rating across direct lenders and the more credit-concentrated the platform, the harder the downward. I’ll dive into why I believe a turnaround is in the cards and what the pace ahead for the credit industry looks like. Current Dynamics So first, I believe that the market has overshot, but not because the credit concerns are imaginary, as they aren’t, but because the punishment doesn’t match the actual fee architecture at OWL vs. the legitimate risk at the underlying business development companies ("BDCs"). The latest quarterly print told us specifically what we needed to know as Fee-Related Earnings grew by 14% Y/Y and Distributable Earnings by 11% Y/Y. Furthermore, $11B were raised in a seasonally light quarter, while there is also the $1.25T valuation print on the SpaceX stake , meanwhile the stock barely budged. Why? Let’s dive into the bear case. The Tricolor and First Brands collapses which were neither pure credit stories, but the headlines did the damage. Thus, net inflows to non-traded BDCs decelerated and OWL itself reported net outflows of roughly $170MM from non-traded BDCs in Q1 2026. Furthermore, OWL’s flagship BDC cut its Q2 2026 base dividend from 37 cents to 31 cents per share and CEO Craig Packer attributed the cut to lower base rates and tighter spreads. NAV per share fell from $14.81 at the end of 2025 to now $14.41 reflecting the widening of the credit spread and though this is not a fee compression event at OWL as fees are largely AUM-based, but it does signal that the asset side of the BDC (Business Development Company) universe is under pressure and a meaningfully lower BDC yield environmen...

Jonathan Kitchen Shares of neocloud companies Nebius ( NBIS ), CoreWeave ( CRWV ), and Iren ( IREN ) all rose 4% or more on Thursday after Nvidia ( NVDA ) disclosed that rental prices for its H100 GPUs are still rising. Nebius led the group with a 15% gain, due in part to a fuel cell deal with Bloom Energy ( BE ). Also moving on the back of the disclosure was Applied Digital ( APLD ), which jumped 17%. The company also announced a major long-term lease agreement. “The price of renting an H100 has risen 20% year-to-date, while A100 cloud pricing is up nearly 15%,” Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said on the company's earnings call . “Benefiting from the versatility of our platform and continuous performance enhancements enhanced by our software stack, customers are generating profitable revenue beyond the depreciable life of their GPUs.” Amid the insatiable demand for AI GPUs, Nebius recently announced that the on-demand rental price of H100 GPUs would rise to $3.85 per hour, up from $2.95 per hour. The H100 GPU was unveiled in April 2022 and is part of Nvidia's Hopper line of GPUs. The company is in full-scale production of its Blackwell line, and its Vera Rubin line of AI accelerators is set to be released in the back half of this year.
