adventtr Quantum Computing ( QUBT ) was in focus on Tuesday as the quantum computing company said its first-quarter revenue surged nearly 9,000%. As such, Wedbush Securities believes the firm has become “bigger [and] better” due to acquisitions, and its story is still in the “early days.” Shares jumped nearly 25% in premarket trading, while other quantum stocks, such as Rigetti Computing ( RGTI ), IonQ ( IONQ ), and D-Wave Quantum ( QBTS ) also rose. Rigetti also reported first-quarter results. “We continue to expect the recently completed acquisition of LSI to contribute between $20M to $25M in revenue in 2026, with LSI expected to bolster QUBT's semiconductor capabilities that will expand the company's addressable market and strengthen its ability to deliver integrated photonic solutions at scale,” Wedbush analyst Antoine Legault wrote in a note to clients. “Net, while we are encouraged by the company's 1Q26 results and forward commentary, we maintain our NEUTRAL rating and $12 PT on QUBT and continue to view the company as a 'show me' story given it remains at an earlier stage of development than its public peers with a considerably lower quantum hardware revenue base.” Hoboken, N.J.-based Quantum Computing said first-quarter revenue was $3.69M, which was above the $3.28M estimate. Revenue was aided by the acquisitions of Luminar Semiconductors in February 2026 and NuCrypt in March 2026. The company ended the quarter with $1.4B in cash and equivalents and a $16M contract backlog. More on Quantum Computing Quantum Computing Inc.

Lorado/E+ via Getty Images Co-authored with Beyond Saving The market indices are trading near all-time highs and are trading near all-time high valuations. Yardeni This is simply a fact. People can argue over whether there is something unique about the mega-caps driving the S&P 500 higher or whether something has changed that makes a 21x price/earnings an attractive valuation, but you can't argue that historically, the average of 21x P/E is much higher than usual. I tend to be a believer in history rhyming, and we can see on this chart what happened in the past when the P/E ratio for the S&P 500 was this high. Of course, that doesn't mean everything in the market is expensive. The red line above is the median P/E ratio, the point where 50% of companies fall below, and 50% of companies are above. Currently, that line is 18.5x price/earnings. In the stock market, I'm a bargain shopper at heart. I'm never paying +20x P/E for anything. My goal is to buy investments that are trading at a low valuation and collect dividends. If the valuation gets high, I'll sell and find something else that is inexpensive. Today, we're going to take a look at two companies that are trading at low valuations. These companies had some issues over the past five years that have left them cast aside by a market willing to pay a premium for the next shiny thing. Both companies are trading at bargain valuations that we expect will rise in the near to mid-future. Let's dive in! Pick #1: EPR – Yield 6.4% In our last article on EPR Properties ( EPR ) before earnings, we predicted : "We are confident that EPR has other irons in the fire and will be increasing its acquisition guidance, which will also lead to an increase in FFOAA (FFO As Adjusted) guidance for 2026. EPR is trading at only 10x FFOAA based on prior guidance. An increase in guidance and an increased expected growth rate should drive the price higher and inspire the market to trade EPR at a higher multiple." Sure enough, they increased g...

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In my last article on PayPal Holdings, Inc. ( PYPL ), I highlighted interest by a super investor with a Buffett-like mindset. Since then, PYPL has been my worst performer, trailing the S&P 500 by almost 50%. PYPL Performance since Previous Article (Seeking Alpha) A lot has changed besides the price movement, especially with former CEO Alex Chriss being replaced by the former HP Inc. ( HPQ ) CEO, Enrique Lores. While the market did not like this decision, I think it's actually a wonderful hire since PYPL will now transition to a similar playbook to HPQ , which I have written about here. Slow growth, cheap valuations, accretive buybacks, and operational efficiency will be the name of the game moving forward. Because of this, I still am bullish on this ticker even with the recent performance. Essentially, PYPL may not need a return to hypergrowth to generate strong shareholder returns. The story here is much simpler in my opinion. The stock looks cheap, management is focused on reducing operating expenses, and the company continues aggressively repurchasing shares using billions in annual free cash flow. The market currently appears focused on slowing growth, margin pressure, and increasing competition from companies like Apple Pay, Stripe, Shopify, and Block. As a result, PayPal's valuation has compressed significantly over the past several years. However, the business itself still generates enormous amounts of cash flow and remains highly profitable. In my view, investors may be underestimating how powerful continued cost reductions and share repurchases can become when executed at depressed valuation levels. Management now appears focused on the right priorities. During the recent earnings call, CEO Enrique Lores discussed simplifying the organization, improving efficiency, using AI to reduce costs, and streamlining operations. Management expects these initiatives to generate at least $1.5 billion in gross run-rate sa...

As artificial intelligence (AI) stocks keep climbing, a practical question emerges amid the excitement: Who will provide electricity for all these data centers?

As artificial intelligence (AI) stocks keep climbing, a practical question emerges amid the excitement: Who will provide electricity for all these data centers? Certainly not the grid, at least not without some help. U.S. power demand is now expected to grow for four straight years through 2027. Data center electricity use, meanwhile, could double or triple by 2028, according to Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory. Much of the grid, for its part, was made in the decades after World War II and will likely give up the ghost if we strain it any further. Clearly, the world will need fresher solutions to a future power bottleneck. And Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) could play a huge role in filling the gap. Continue reading

Put plainly, the Greater Manchester mayor is electoral gold dust. The Labour party machine must not stand in his way to becoming an MP Neal Lawson is director of the cross-party campaign organisation Compass The madness has to end. The progressive side of politics in the UK faces two crises. The first is the possible decimation of the Labour party after the next election. The second is a prospective Reform-led government – and a Trumpian future for the country. The best-placed figure in Britain to lead Labour away from these twin disasters is the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. The Labour party must now do what it takes to ensure that Burnham is available to be the next leader of the party and the country. This must start with an urgent statement from the party’s ruling national executive committee (NEC) saying that if Burnham wanted to fight any direct vacancy then he would be allowed through for local members to decide whether they wanted him as their candidate, alongside a timetable that allows him to enter the contest. Neal Lawson is director of the cross-party campaign organisation Compass Continue reading...
