2 Government Initiatives That Could Propel Quantum Computing Stocks Like D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and IonQ Higher
Key Points Investors see quantum computing as a potential game changer, similar to artificial intelligence. Many companies are still working to perfect the technology. Government programs and bills in Congress could unlock funding and lift the sector. 10 stocks we like better than Rigetti Computing › Other than artificial intelligence (AI), few sectors have seen a more meteoric rise over the past year than quantum computing. Quantum computers are expected to be a significant advancement from the traditional computer, with much more complex technology. Instead of using bits, the smallest form of digital data, quantum computers rely on qubits, which can house much more data than bits and have much higher computing power. Researchers believe quantum computers have the potential to solve some of the world's biggest issues. That's why quantum computing companies like D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) have seen their stocks fly, as they continue to make advancements on the technology. D-Wave and Rigetti are up over 1,800% over the past year, while IonQ is up over 500%. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » These stocks are still not generating significant revenue and are still losing money, while trading at multibillion-dollar market caps, so I think they will continue to be volatile and investors should keep positions smaller and more speculative for the time being. But here are two government initiatives that could propel the group higher. The Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) The Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) is being spearheaded by an independent U.S. Department of Defense agency called The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), whose goal is to make sure the U.S. is prepared for technological challenges that might arise. The unit launched in 1957 after Sputnik, which marked the beginning of the space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. QBI's goal is essentially to determine if a quantum computer can be built to deliver a "utility-scale operation" in which its benefits exceed its cost. QBI hopes to do this by the year 2033. Companies can apply to go through a rigorous three-stage process. In the government's words: Stage A: Describe a utility-scale quantum computer concept that has a plausible path to realization in the near term. Stage B: Describe a Research and Development Plan capable of realizing the utility-scale quantum computer, the risks associated with that plan and the planned risk mitigation steps, and the prototypes needed to burn down these risks. Stage C: Work with the Government to Verify and Validate that their utility-scale quantum computer concept can be constructed as designed and operated as intended. In early April, DARPA selected 20 quantum computing companies for Stage A, which the agency described as a six-month sprint. Rigetti and IonQ were among those selected for Stage A. D-Wave was not selected because it is not focused on gate model quantum computing, but analysts at Needham believe industry momentum would certainly benefit the company, and I agree. Stage A should be completed some time in October based on the six-month timeline. Department of Energy Quantum Leadership Act of 2025 U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., introduced the Department of Energy Leadership Act of 2025 into the Senate in February of this year, and the bill has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. According to Quantum Insider, the bill would increase research and development (R&D) for quantum information purposes including quantum computing. The bill could authorize as much as $2.5 billion in funding over five years, which would pair nicely with what DARPA is doing, and could further spur the quantum computing movement. The bill also seeks to establish regulations for working with other countries like China on quantum computing, clarify who can receive funding, and provide new goals and priorities for quantum technologies. Stocks like Rigetti, D-Wave, and IonQ would benefit from passage of this law if investors believe interest is increasing. If the U.S. government views quantum computing as necessary for national defense and solving core problems that impact all of mankind, investors are likely to get more interested. The bill also appears to have bipartisan support, with co-sponsors from both parties. A similar version of this bill failed to pass Congress in 2024, but now with the support of Schumer, bipartisan support, and the apparent interest from the Trump administration, given that it earmarked $250 million of funding in the "one big, beautiful bill" for quantum tech, the bill may drum up more support this time around.

These 3 Technology Stocks Are Money-Printing Machines
Key Points Broadcom's custom AI chip business continues to power large hyperscaler deployments globally. ServiceNow remains a dominant force in the enterprise workflow automation market. Oracle dominates the enterprise database market and has one of the most secure AI platforms. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › The technology sector has created extraordinary wealth for the shareholders since the dawn of the internet age. While a few of the technology companies have been building critical infrastructure needed to power the digital economy, many others have successfully developed consumer applications that have become indispensable for billions of users. Here are three technology giants that have generated exceptional long-term returns for shareholders and are well worth considering today. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Broadcom Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure giant Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) has created an exceptional portfolio of customized semiconductor chips and infrastructure software solutions. Broadcom's financials are impressive. The company raked in $15 billion of revenue in the second quarter of its fiscal 2025 (ended May 4), up 20% year over year. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) reached $10 billion, translating into a 67% margin. The chipmaker produced $6.4 billion in free cash flow during the second quarter and has a strong balance sheet with $9.5 billion in cash. Thanks to its strong cash generation and solid financial position, it has returned an impressive $7 billion to shareholders in the second quarter through dividends and stock buybacks. Broadcom's AI semiconductor business (custom accelerators and AI networking) remains the key growth engine, with revenue rising 46% year over year to $4.4 billion in the second quarter. While custom accelerator revenue was up double-digits, AI networking revenue soared by more than 170% in the second quarter. Management now expects the company's AI semiconductor revenue to grow 60% to $5.1 billion in the third quarter. Unlike Nvidia, which dominates the GPU landscape, Broadcom has become a major provider of custom processors and is currently working with three hyperscalers who are each planning to deploy 1 million AI accelerator clusters by 2027. Besides chips, the company's advances in AI networking (Tomahawk 6 switches) are enabling massive AI clusters in a manner that can lower latency and improve bandwidth, all while reducing power consumption. Broadcom's $61 billion acquisition of VMware, an infrastructure software company, is also proving to be a brilliant move. Broadcom's infrastructure software business now operates at a 93% gross margin and 76% operating margin. Considering Broadcom's cutting-edge AI offerings and robust financials, the stock seems an impressive pick now. ServiceNow ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) generates substantial revenue by selling enterprise AI and workflow automation solutions through its Now Platform. In the second quarter, the company generated over $3.1 billion in subscription revenue, up 22.5% on a year-over-year basis. With another $102 million earned from professional services and other areas, the company generated more than $3.2 billion in revenue in the second quarter, up 22.5%. Management expects to hit a $15 billion-plus subscription revenue target in 2026. This tech giant has emerged as a significant beneficiary of the increasing adoption of enterprise AI globally. The company's Now Assist offering (a suite of generative AI capabilities integrated into the Now workflow automation platform) is projected to generate $1 billion in annual contracted business by 2026, almost four times higher than $250 million annual contracted value in early 2025. ServiceNow served 528 customers paying above $5 million in annual contracted value, while the number of customers contributing beyond $20 million annually expanded by more than 30% year over year in the second quarter. The company's Now platform boasts a remarkable 98% renewal rate, highlighting the stickiness of its offerings. The enterprise software leader generated $535 million in free cash flows, translating into a 16.5% free-cash-flow margin in the second quarter. The company is committed to returning capital to shareholders, as is evident from $361 million worth of share repurchases in the second quarter. Despite these buybacks, ServiceNow boasts an impressive $10.8 billion in cash and investments at the end of the second quarter. Considering the ServiceNow's many strengths, smart investors should consider at least a small stake in the company. Oracle Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) generates substantial cash flows by developing and selling cloud infrastructure and database software solutions, many of which are powering complex AI workloads. Oracle's database technology works in conjunction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI, Oracle's cloud computing platform). It is also compatible with all of the leading cloud platforms, such as Amazon 's AWS, Alphabet 's Google Cloud, and Microsoft 's Azure. Additionally, Oracle Database 23ai enables enterprises to work with their proprietary data and all the popular large language models while maintaining complete security. The company reported $15.9 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2025 (ended May 31), up 11% year over year. OCI was a significant growth driver, and saw revenue jump 52% to $3 billion in the fourth quarter. The enterprise technology leader generated $20.8 billion in operating cash flow during fiscal 2025, an increase of 12% year over year. With its backlog growing 41% year over year to $138 billion at the end of fiscal 2025 and further expected to grow 100% by the end of fiscal 2026, Oracle enjoys exceptional revenue visibility. Oracle is also committed to returning capital to shareholders, as is evident from $150 million in share buybacks in the fourth quarter and dividend payments of almost $4.7 billion in fiscal 2025. Management also expects OCI revenue to grow year over year by 70% in fiscal 2026, while total revenue is expected to be at least $67 billion, up 16%. This highlights the company's solid growth prospects in the coming year. Where to invest $1,000 right now When our analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,047%* — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 181% for the S&P 500.

The Bank of England cuts its main interest rate to 4%, the lowest level since March 2023
LONDON (AP) — The Bank of England cut its main interest rate Thursday by a quarter percentage point to 4%, as policy makers seek to bolster the sluggish U.K. economy. Thursday's decision was widely anticipated in financial markets as the bank's Monetary Policy Committee balances its responsibility to control inflation against concern that rising taxes and U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade war may slow economic growth. The committee voted 5-4 in favor of the cut. The rate cut is the bank's fifth since last August, when policy makers began lowering borrowing costs from a 16-year high of 5.25%. The Bank of England's key rate — a benchmark for mortgages as well as consumer and business loans — is now at the lowest level since March 2023. 'There will be hopes that if loans become cheaper, it will help boost consumer and business confidence but there's a long way to go,' Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said before the decision. 'In the meantime, speculation over potential tax rises in the Autumn Budget may keep households and companies cautious, given the uncertainty over where extra burdens may land.' Policymakers decided to cut rates even though consumer prices rose 3.6% in the 12 months through June, significantly above the bank's 2% target. The bank said the recent rise in consumer prices was largely due to temporary increases in food and energy costs, and inflation should begin falling later this year after peaking at around 4%. Inflation should be back in line with the target by the second quarter of 2027, the bank said. Against the backdrop, policy makers were faced with concerns about the sluggish economy. The bank estimated that economic growth slowed to 0.1% in the second quarter of 2025, from 0.7% in the first three months of the year. Gross domestic product is expected to grow 0.3% in the third quarter, the bank said. 'There are slightly more risks on the downside to activity,' Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told reporters after the rate decision was announced. 'Economic growth is subdued, the labor market continues to loosen and consumption growth may take longer to pick up.' The National Institute of Economic and Social Research, an independent think tank, said earlier this week that the government may be forced to raise taxes later this year due to slowing growth, rising borrowing costs and pressure to increase spending. Britain's unemployment rate rose to 4.7% in the three months through May, the highest level in four years, signaling that previous tax increases and uncertainty about the global economy are weighing on employers. The U.K. Treasury chief, Rachel Reeves, said the government was working to lock in long-term economic growth by investing in infrastructure, negotiating international trade deals and working to make Britain a hub for the development of artificial intelligence and other innovative technologies. Reeves and Prime Minister Keir Starmer have sought to avoid unpopular tax increases and spending cuts with policies designed to spur economic growth and increase tax revenue ever since they took office in July 2024.
