Shares of Rigetti Computing (RGTI +3.56%) fell last week after the company failed to meet modest revenue expectations in its most recent quarter. Rigetti is one of a handful of quantum computing stocks that have caught the attention of investors. While the stock's post-earnings decline sent its shares down more than 25% year to date, its shares are still up 78% over the past year, as of this writing. With the company struggling to generate any meaningful revenue, the question is whether investors should buy the dip or avoid the stock. Technological struggles One of the biggest technological issues facing quantum computing is that the technology is error-prone. Because quantum computing uses qubits, which aren't in fixed positions like the bits found in classical computing, it is much more sensitive to outside sources, which can cause errors. While quantum computing companies have been making strides in reducing error rates, one company that has struggled in this area is Rigetti. In January, the company had to delay the shipments of its Cepheus-1-108Q quantum computer due to technical issues. It now expects to deploy the system with 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity later this month. It also announced that it has reached 99.9% two-qubit fidelity; however, that trails its competitors, with IonQ, for example, achieving 99.99% two-qubit fidelity. While that may not sound like a big difference, it is actually quite substantial in the world of computing. With its struggles, Rigetti saw its revenue fall 17% to just $1.9 million. That fell short of the $2.3 million analyst consensus. Meanwhile, its gross margins fell from 44% to 35%, and its operating expenses climbed 19% to $23.2 million. This led to an operating loss of $22.6 million. Its adjusted net loss came in at $11.3 million, or $0.03 a share, helped by higher interest income. Looking ahead, the company should see stronger revenue in 2026, fueled by recent orders. It sold two of its Novera systems for $5.7 millio...

Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Inc. said they plan to cancel a combined 20.8 trillion won ($14.1 billion) of treasury shares, one of the largest such moves by South Korean conglomerates as firms respond to governance reforms aimed at boosting shareholder returns. The cancellations highlight a broader push to improve corporate governance and narrow the so-called ‘Korea discount’ — the persistent valuation gap between local equities and global peers — typically linked to corporate governance issues. The Kospi’s blistering rally, making it one of the world’s best-performing major equity benchmarks over the past year, has been driven in part by expectations that companies will follow through on governance changes. The latest announcements from two of the country’s most prominent business groups suggest the reform momentum in Asia’s fourth-largest economy is gaining traction. Read More: Korea Passes Another Reform Bill in Push for Shareholder Value Samsung Electronics will cancel 87 million treasury shares, including preferred stock, in the first half of the year, the company said in its annual report and an emailed statement Tuesday. SK will retire 4.8 trillion won of treasury shares — about a fifth of its outstanding stock — in what would rank among the largest cancellations undertaken by a South Korean chaebol. Such moves typically boost earnings per share and improve return on equity, metrics closely watched by global investors who have long cited governance concerns when discounting Korean equities. “SK plans to lead the maximization of shareholder value through proactive corporate value enhancement reflecting the intent of the revised Commercial Act,” the company said in a text message. Retiring about 20% of its shares marks a significant shift in the group’s capital policy. The plans follow amendments to South Korea’s Commercial Act passed last month that require companies to cancel treasury stock, marking a move away from using such holdings as a control mechanis...

The pace at which HMS Dragon has been readied for deployment to defend a British military base in Cyprus from attacks by Iran has prompted claims that Britain’s proud naval history has been shamed. It has been a week since the government said the Portsmouth-based Type 45 destroyer would be deployed, but it is still at dock and the ship is likely to take another five days or more to reach its destination. Sources within the Ministry of Defence say that the efforts of those involved in making the destroyer seaworthy in such a time period have been herculean. The defence secretary, John Healey, told the House of Commons on Monday that navy crews were working “tirelessly, 22 hours a day” and that HMS Dragon would be out to sail within “a couple of days”. It is claimed by those involved that a process that would normally take six weeks has been near completed within six days. Why was there not a Royal Navy destroyer ready to go? It can take five days or less for a destroyer that is in a high state of readiness to be ready for deployment from dock, according to experts. HMS Dragon was not in such a state. This time last week, it was on dry dock undergoing scheduled repairs before deployment on a Nato mission. As a result, it was rumoured that HMS Duncan would be the ship sent to Cyprus instead. Matthew Heaslip, a senior lecturer in naval history at the University of Portsmouth, said that it was probably the poverty of resources that meant that HMS Duncan was needed to stick around the UK for domestic defence. “Duncan had just done some training exercises, and so may have needed some maintenance of its own,” he said. “But the Iran war is also not the only thing going on in the world right now where you might need air defence in the UK and, quite simply, the UK doesn’t have any air defence other than the Royal Air Force and some short-range missiles. The other year, when a number of dignitaries came into London, they had to put HMS Diamond on to the River Thames, in theory,...

Joe Hendrickson DraftKings ( DKNG ) is creating a lot of buzz in the sports betting sector with its plan to roll out a new unified “super app” called DraftKings Sports & Casino that brings together its sportsbook, online casino, lottery via its Jackpocket courier business, and DraftKings Predictions product into a single, jurisdiction-tailored platform. The company highlighted that customers will use one login and a single shared wallet across all verticals, while the app dynamically adjusts what a user sees based on what is legal in their state, such as sports wagering, casino games, lottery, or prediction markets. Management plans a phased rollout beginning around the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament. DraftKings ( DKNG ) also intends to unify rewards and loyalty across products, using the super app as a cross-sell engine to push sportsbook users into casino, lottery, and prediction markets. Notably, DraftKings ( DKNG ) management believes the super app will raise customer lifetime value while lowering acquisition and promo costs by consolidating marketing and onboarding flows. At its Investor Day event last week, the Boston-based company tied the super app and related AI-driven efficiencies to an ambitious long-term adjusted EBITDA margin target of at least 30%, pitching the unified platform as both a distribution breakthrough and a source of durable competitive advantage. Analyst reactions to the super app unveiling have been favorable. Macquarie, BMO, Jefferies, BTIG, Canaccord, and others have highlighted the unified app as a catalyst for more efficient customer acquisition, stronger cross-product engagement, better personalization, and a larger total addressable market for DraftKings ( DKNG ) into 2030. Jefferies analyst David Katz said the new comprehensive super app should be a key driver of market share for DraftKings ( DKNG ) this year. Shares of DraftKings ( DKNG ) are up 1.6% since its Investor Day event last week. The sports betting stock is dow...

A profitable Mexico reduces concentration risk and strengthens the long-term investment case. 10 stocks we like better than Nu Holdings › Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU) built its empire in Brazil. But its long-term future may depend on overseas countries, particularly Mexico. Brazil remains Nu Holdings' profit engine. It's where the company started, refined its underwriting model, built brand trust, and achieved scale. But empires rarely rely on a single territory. 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 » If Nu Holdings wants to become the dominant digital bank of Latin America, not just Brazil, Mexico must work. And that means more than just adding users. Customer growth is only step one Nu Holdings has grown rapidly in Mexico. The country represents one of the largest underbanked populations in Latin America, with millions of consumers lacking access to affordable credit and modern financial services. Customer additions have been strong, reaching 13 million in the third quarter of 2025. But adding users is the easy part. The more challenging task is translating that growth into sustainable profitability. Brazil benefits from operating leverage, brand maturity, and data scale. Mexico is earlier in its development curve. Credit models are still seasoning, while risk behavior is still developing. Nu Holdings must prove that its Brazilian playbook travels well. Can Mexico converge with Brazil in unit economics? One of the significant questions is whether Mexico's business can deliver economic benefits comparable to those in Brazil. Others include: Can Mexico approach Brazilian revenue per customer over time? Can it maintain similar delinquency profiles? Can cost-to-serve remain structurally low in a new regulatory and competitive envir...
