Major indexes jumped Thursday morning thanks to the US Court of International Trade ruling that President Donald Trump didn't have the power to impose some of his wide-reaching tariffs. Whiplash ensued less than 24 hours later when an appeals court reinstated the tariffs while it reviewed the administration's arguments. Even if Trump's tariffs are ultimately ruled illegal, the risk of a trade war remains. After Wednesday's initial ruling, experts told BI's Christine Ji that Trump has other options that could further sow chaos in an already wild trading environment. Importantly, the entire episode demonstrates the ongoing uncertainty around an issue that has weighed heavily on the market. The constant threat and subsequent pullback of tariffs have proved a challenge for investors in recent months. Citadel's Ken Griffin went as far as saying you'd have been better off keeping your money on the sidelines, which is not the type of thing people who manage money for a living often suggest. Donald Trump, as always, is another X factor. One immediate solution for continuing his trade agenda could be the Trade Act of 1974. I'm sure you're well-versed on that US legislation, but if you aren't, it allows the president to impose tariffs up to 15% for 150 days. If Trump continues his tariff fight in the courts, that'll further complicate trade negotiations. Will a trading partner take the president's threat of tariffs seriously if he might not even have the authority to implement them? Stephanie Roth, chief economist at Wolfe Research, also highlighted to Christine the recently popular TACO trade — Trump Always Chickens Out — as another variable. The notion that he won't commit to harder tariffs, along with the court ruling, could push Trump to double down on his agenda. "There's a possibility he attempts to do some sort of surprise," Roth told Christine. 1. Wall Street's Dr. Doom takes on money management. Bearish economist Nouriel Roubini launched America Atlas Fund in November. Since its inception, the fund is up 4%, outperforming the S&P 500. Here's how it resists volatility. 2. Goldman Sachs is on defense as it faces "disruptive policy" shifts. Amid President Trump's trade war and policies, Goldman President and COO John Waldron said the bank is tamping down risk. For him, tariffs are just one piece of the puzzle, though. 3. What top Tesla investors want from Elon Musk. Now that Musk is leaving Washington, a group of the EV maker's investors drafted a list of requests for the tech billionaire. Items include a 40-hour-per-week commitment to the company and a CEO succession plan. 1. Cleaning up "The Everything Store." A document revealed Amazon's plan — discreetly called the "Bend the Curve" program — to purge at least 24 billion unique product listings from its marketplace. Axing underperforming items can save the company millions in server costs. 2. Microsoft and Walmart are cozier than previously thought. Last week, Microsoft's AI security head accidentally leaked details about its partnership with Walmart. Then, a separate document viewed by BI shows Walmart has spent about $580 million on Microsoft Azure's cloud services between June 2023 and May 2024, which could make it one of Microsoft's biggest cloud customers. 3. One of Nvidia's most important numbers doesn't have a $ attached. Token growth lets the chip giant know how much people are actually using AI and, therefore, its chips. It was a big propeller of Nvidia's Q1 earnings beat, but it's also pretty tricky to track. 1. Mark Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are cool now. The foes-turned-friends are teaming up for a US military project, building extended reality gear for soldiers. The Meta-Anduril system, Eagle Eye, will use AI and sensors in headsets and other wearables to enhance vision, Luckey said. 2. How is a business like a baby? Founders are like parents, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said on a recent podcast appearance. Chesky said founders have the authority to make big changes and know their metaphorical business baby better than anyone. They also run into two big challenges. 3. The Great Flattening isn't confined to Big Tech. As companies face recession fears and tariff uncertainty, middle managers are at risk. Amazon and Google already announced plans to cut thousands of workers, and now retailers like Walmart are aiming to "remove layers and complexity." Costco is taking a page from Sam's Club's playbook to speed up checkout at warehouses. Tiger Global, more than two years removed from its 56% loss in 2022, walks investors through what's changed — and compares the firm to Rory McIlroy. Starbucks is scaling back one of its popular point perks. Reid Hoffman says AI can't be your friend — and pretending it can is harmful. The taboo colon cancer symptom millennials are afraid to tell their doctors about. At Diddy trial, his consensual-sex defense is undercut by a personal assistant's wrenching rape testimony.

IonQ vs. Microsoft: Which Quantum Cloud Stock Is the Better Buy Today?
Both IonQ, Inc. IONQ and Microsoft Corporation MSFT are making waves in the emerging field of quantum computing, each from very different positions. IonQ is a pure-play quantum computing pioneer, focused solely on developing cutting-edge quantum computers and networks. Microsoft is a tech giant weaving quantum technology into its massive Azure cloud they have in common is a commitment to 'quantum cloud' services – offering access to quantum computing via the cloud – and both have drawn investors' attention recently. IonQ's stock has surged on breakthroughs and strategic deals, while Microsoft continues to post strong cloud-driven results and invest in quantum R&D. The question is how these two quantum-exposed stocks stack up as investments. Let's dive deep and closely compare the fundamentals of the two stocks to determine which one is a better investment now. IonQ has positioned itself as a leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, achieving significant technical milestones. In first-quarter 2025, the company secured its first commercial sale, a $22 million deal with EPB, a utility in Tennessee, to deploy its Forte Enterprise quantum computer and quantum network. This marked the debut of both quantum computing and networking in a real-world application, solidifying IonQ's technological edge. The company's substantial intellectual property portfolio, with nearly 900 patents spanning quantum computing, communication, and sensing, further strengthens its position as a pioneer in the emerging quantum tech is aggressively expanding its reach through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. It has inked new partnerships in Asia (like in Japan and South Korea) to broaden its global presence. The company recently acquired or invested in key quantum networking players, including controlling interests in ID Quantique (a leader in quantum encryption) and Qubitekk, which positions IonQ at the forefront of quantum communication infrastructure. These moves vastly expand IonQ's total addressable market into areas like quantum-safe networking and secure satellite communications. IonQ is also building out a full-stack quantum ecosystem. Its systems are accessible via major clouds (Amazon's AWS Braket and Azure Quantum), and it's advancing enabling technologies like photonic interconnects for scaling quantum processors. Notably, the U.S. government has recognized IonQ's capabilities – the company was selected by DARPA for a national quantum benchmarking initiative, underscoring its credibility in pushing quantum performance 2025, IonQ forecasts revenue between $75 million and $95 million – roughly 97% growth at the midpoint, thanks to new contracts and its broadened product lineup. Such growth, if realized, would far outpace the broader tech industry and reflect the considerable demand for IonQ's quantum its promise, IonQ faces substantial challenges. The company remains deeply unprofitable, as it continues to invest heavily in R&D and talent. In first-quarter 2025, IonQ's net loss was $32.3 million (narrower than a year ago due to some one-time gains), and its adjusted EBITDA loss actually widened as operating expenses jumped 38% year over year. This heavy cost structure means profitability is still a distant goal. The quantum computing sector is highly competitive, with major tech companies like International Business Machines Corporation IBM, Alphabet's Google, and Microsoft investing billions to push the technology forward. At the same time, emerging players such as Baidu, Amazon, and Rigetti Computing RGTI are also vying for a stake in this fast-evolving market. Among IonQ's closest competitors in the trapped-ion space is Quantinuum, a Honeywell-backed joint venture, known for its high fidelity and commercial readiness. Rigetti provides a full-stack superconducting platform but is still in the early stages of commercialization with modest revenue. D-Wave Quantum QBTS specializes in quantum annealing, focusing on optimization problems with systems boasting over 1,200 qubits. Google's Quantum AI division leads in superconducting qubit development, setting benchmarks for scalability and quantum supremacy. Together, these companies define the competitive and rapidly shifting landscape that IonQ must navigate. Microsoft needs little introduction – it is one of the world's most valuable companies, with a dominant position in enterprise software and cloud computing. This scale and stability are key strengths for investors considering Microsoft as a 'quantum cloud' play. Unlike IonQ, Microsoft benefits from significant profitability and a broad economic moat across multiple tech sectors. Its Azure cloud platform is pivotal to its quantum strategy, providing access to a range of quantum hardware and software tools through Azure Quantum. This positions Microsoft as a central hub for quantum innovation, partnering with various hardware approaches, including ion-trap systems like IonQ's and superconducting early 2025, Microsoft unveiled its Majorana 1 quantum processing chip, a breakthrough in topological qubit research, signaling progress toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. With $80 billion in cash reserves (as of the fiscal third quarter of 2025-end), Microsoft has the financial strength to continue investing in quantum initiatives without impacting its core quantum strategy integrates internal innovation with strategic partnerships, such as its collaboration with Atom Computing and DARPA's support for its topological qubit work. Azure is also rolling out quantum services, including Azure Quantum Elements for industries like chemistry and drug discovery. With its cloud dominance and AI growth, Microsoft is primed to capitalize on quantum advancements, offering quantum computing-as-a-service when the technology quantum ambitions face several challenges. While exciting, quantum computing currently represents a tiny fraction of Microsoft's about $70 billion quarterly revenue, meaning breakthroughs in Azure Quantum won't significantly impact its financials in the near term. For investors seeking pure quantum exposure, Microsoft stock might dilute the theme due to its broader business drivers. Additionally, Microsoft's quantum hardware progress lags behind competitors like IBM, which has built over 100 qubit superconducting processors, while companies like IonQ and Quantinuum are advancing with current-generation machines. Microsoft's bet on topological qubits, though promising, remains in the research phase, with its Majorana 1 chip still a quantum field is also crowded with well-funded players like Google, Amazon, and IBM, intensifying competition. IonQ has recently garnered attention with a significant 57.8% surge in its stock price over the past month, despite a modest 3.4% year-to-date (YTD) gain. This uptick reflects growing investor confidence in its quantum computing advancements. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues to solidify its position in the tech industry, with an 8.8% YTD stock increase and a 7.8% rise over the past month. Microsoft has been pacing the broader tech rally, whereas IonQ's surge was an outlier. Microsoft's less dramatic stock moves reflect its large-cap stability. The Zacks Computer and Technology sector has gained 8.3% in the past month but declined 1.7% YTD. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Valuation remains a key concern for IonQ. The company's forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio stands at a lofty 91.76, well above the sector average of 6.22. While this figure has fluctuated significantly over the past two years, ranging from 20.55 to 229.06, it reflects the high expectations embedded in the current share IonQ's stock is trading 21.1% below its 52-week high, it has surged 594.5% from its 52-week low, illustrating the speculative nature of its price movement. With limited revenue and substantial losses, IonQ's premium valuation is heavily dependent on its ability to execute its strategy and secure a leading position in the emerging quantum market before its Microsoft's valuation has also become very stretched compared to the sector, but much lower than that of IonQ. Microsoft trades at about 10.99X, far below IONQ but above the sector. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research For IONQ, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 loss per share has narrowed over the past 30 days, as you can see below, depicting analysts' optimism. The estimated figure indicates a much narrower loss than the year-ago reported loss of $1.56. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 revenues implies year-over-year growth of 97.3%.On the other hand, for MSFT stock, the earnings per share (EPS) estimate has increased over the past 30 days. The consensus mark for fiscal 2025 revenues and EPS indicates 13.7% and 13% growth, respectively. For IONQ Stock Image Source: Zacks Investment Research For MSFT Stock Image Source: Zacks Investment Research IonQ and Microsoft each represent compelling but distinct plays in the quantum cloud space. IonQ, as a pure-play quantum computing company, is a high-risk, high-reward investment with impressive growth prospects, highlighted by its strong patent portfolio, strategic partnerships, and significant revenue expansion forecast. However, its heavy losses and speculative valuation make it a more volatile option. In contrast, Microsoft offers a more stable investment with a dominant presence in the cloud and AI sectors, backed by a robust financial position. While its quantum ambitions are exciting, they currently constitute a small portion of its overall business, limiting the immediate impact on its financials. Given the current market dynamics, IonQ's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and its aggressive growth trajectory give it an edge for investors seeking higher risk and return potential, whereas Microsoft's diversified business and Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold) position it as a more conservative investment. In conclusion, for those willing to tolerate volatility in exchange for the chance of significant gains, IonQ is the stock with greater upside potential right now.

Buy MSFT Stock At $460?
23 May 2025, Bavaria, Munich: The Microsoft logo and lettering can be seen on the Microsoft ... More Deutschland GmbH headquarters building in Parkstadt Schwabing in Munich (Bavaria) on May 23, 2025. Photo: Matthias Balk/dpa (Photo by Matthias Balk/picture alliance via Getty Images) Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock has experienced a notable increase of 16% over the last month, surpassing the S&P 500's 6% rise. This growth is primarily attributed to Microsoft's impressive Q1 earnings exceeding expectations and a positive outlook, bolstered by its dominance in cloud computing and AI, especially with significant Azure growth. However, following its recent ascent, is MSFT stock still worth buying? Yes, we believe that MSFT stock, which is currently priced around $460, offers an appealing buying opportunity. Though its present valuation is elevated compared to the benchmark index, making it susceptible to negative events, we do not see any significant reasons for concern. Our assessment stems from a thorough evaluation of Microsoft's present valuation relative to its historical operational performance and financial condition. We have examined Microsoft against key criteria: Growth, Profitability, Financial Stability, and Downturn Resilience. This evaluation indicates a robust operational performance and financial status, which we will explain in more detail below. That being said, if you are looking for upside potential with lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and achieved returns exceeding 91% since its launch. Separately, see – Nvidia Stock's 1 Big Risk Based on the price you pay per dollar of sales or profit, MSFT stock appears overpriced in relation to the broader market. Microsoft's Revenues have experienced significant growth in recent years. Microsoft's profit margins are significantly higher than those of most companies in the Trefis coverage universe. Microsoft's financial position is very solid. MSFT stock has experienced an impact that was slightly more favorable than the benchmark S&P 500 index during some recent downturns. Concerned about how a market crash might affect MSFT stock? Our dashboard How Low Can Microsoft Stock Go In A Market Crash? provides a comprehensive analysis of how the stock fared during and after previous market crashes. In conclusion, Microsoft's performance across the evaluated criteria is as follows: Microsoft has showcased strong performance in key financial metrics. Although its current valuation seems elevated compared to the broader market, it is consistent with Microsoft's own historical performance. For example, the current price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 12.6x aligns with its 12.4x average over the past four years. Similarly, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 35x is in line with the stock's average P/E during the same timeframe. Looking forward, significant growth in Azure is expected to fuel further increases in valuation multiples. The company's revenue growth over the next three years is projected to average in the low double-digits, compared to a 12% average over the preceding three years. Overall, despite its recent increases, we believe MSFT stock continues to be an attractive buy at current levels. In fact, we estimate Microsoft's valuation to be $535 per share, indicating over 15% upside potential. Nevertheless, it is vital to recognize potential risks. A downturn in economic growth or a recession could result in decreased corporate investments in infrastructure, potentially affecting Microsoft's revenue growth. Even though MSFT stock has historically performed better than the benchmark index during economic downturns, a decline in its stock price during such situations cannot be dismissed. Not entirely satisfied with the volatile nature of MSFT stock? The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, comprising 30 stocks, has a proven history of consistently outperforming the S&P 500 over the past four years. What accounts for this? As a collective, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered superior returns with reduced risk compared to the benchmark index; a more stable investment experience, as demonstrated by HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
