‘Now's the Time to Exit,' Says Top Investor About D-Wave Stock
It has been a month to remember for D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS), whose share price has shot up by some 154% since the beginning of May. Confident Investing Starts Here: The surging share price was powered by a positive Q1 2025 earnings report, during which the company reported revenues that increased by over 500% both sequentially and year-over-year. The company's $15 million in revenues outshot expectations by $4.5 million, while EPS of -$0.02 also surpassed projections by $0.03. A further boost came last week, when D-Wave announced that its Advantage2, the company's sixth-generation quantum computer, has become available for purchase. Does this mean that the company is on the verge of rapid commercialization? Not everyone's buying the hype. One highly ranked investor, known as Tech Stock Pros, remains cautious, arguing that the Q1 surge was exceptional and unlikely to be repeated in the near term. 'The revenue growth this quarter is on a one-time sale rather than commercial/enterprise adoption,' explains TSP, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. The investor points out that bookings in Q1 were actually down 64% compared to last year, casting doubt on whether the blowout quarter is a sign of things to come or just a quantum blip. 'This is far from mainstream and not yet seeing enterprise adoption, which is what would support sustainable revenue growth,' argues TSP, adding that the decline in bookings is a 'big fat red flag.' The investor does believe that the future is bright for QBTS, noting that the company's Quantum Computing-as-a-Service has already attracted over 100 customers, the majority of whom are from the private sector. Still, the field is still in its theoretical stages, meaning that the near-term prognosis is not so rosy. With QBTS' valuation of 161x its sales now towering over the sector median of 3x, it is pretty clear to TSP that the recent 'joyride is over' and the time has come to exit. Against this backdrop, the investor rates QBTS shares a Strong Sell. (To watch Tech Stock Pros' track record, click here) Meanwhile, Wall Street's stance appears conflicted. While QBTS holds a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 6 Buy recommendations, the average 12-month price target of $13 implies a ~26% downside from current levels. This disconnect suggests that analysts may soon need to revisit either their bullish ratings or the price targets they've issued.

Tony Hawk Recognized by TIME for His Impact Beyond Skateboarding
Who would we be if we didn't give a big congrats to Tony Hawk for landing a spot on the 2025 TIME100 Philanthropy list—an honor recognizing 100 epic humans around the world who are pushing the future of giving and making real change. On and off the board, Tony's always kept it real. He leads by example, stays humble, and inspires people to keep pushing—despite what they're chasing. Getting named to that list is a huge honor, and if anyone deserves it, it's Hawk. Peep the post below from The Skatepark Project, along with some humbling words. View the to see embedded media. On Instagram, The Skatepark Project mentioned: "Tony is celebrated not only for his legendary skateboarding career and revolutionizing the sport, but for his dedication to making skateboarding more accessible to youth in underserved communities. Since founding The Skatepark Project in 2002, we've helped fund nearly 700 public skateparks across all 50 states — creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people can build confidence, resilience, and, above all, community!" All that hard work certainly hasn't gone unnoticed, either. What Tony and TSP do—and have done—for so many communities across the globe is major, and they're showing no signs of slowing down. Why would they? There's no limit to the amount of skateparks that should be built in this wild world, as far as I'm concerned. Keep those wheels turning!💻 💻 It's always exciting to see one of our own being recognized by something outside of skateboarding on such a global scale. Are we surprised it's Tony? Of course not, but that doesn't take anything away from it, either. The dude is just a legend—through and through—and truly has given so much back to skateboarding. Where would we be without The Birdman?TIME did a good job profiling and honoring our fearless leader. And if you see the list of notable individuals he's surrounded by, well, let's just say this—he's in good company. Congrats again, Tony. And thank you for all that you do.

Families of selected SI candidates protest, oppose exam cancellation
1 2 Jaipur: Families of candidates, who had cleared Sub-Inspector Recruitment Examination 2021, held a protest at Dussehra Ground in Adarsh Nagar Friday, urging the state govt not to cancel the recruitment. The protesters said honest candidates who cleared the exam on merit should not be penalised due to the actions of a few. The protesters raised concerns that recent demands by Opposition leaders to cancel the exam were "unreasonable" and risked jeopardising the future of candidates who cleared the exam through hard work and integrity. One of the protesters, Deva Ram Naian pointed out that while the SOG investigation into the recruitment is ongoing and around 50 candidates were dismissed for irregularities, a large number of those selected were law-abiding, deserving candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds. The protesters said that among the selected are meritorious students, single women, ex-servicemen, and candidates from SC/ST and TSP areas, many of whom left other govt jobs to join the police force. Protesters said cancelling the entire exam would harm those currently undergoing training and those who not only passed the rigorous process but also declined other opportunities to serve in the police. They also contested the claim that 8 lakh candidates would face injustice if the recruitment is cancelled, stating that only 4.25 lakh actually appeared for the exam while 3.75 lakh did not.

Foundation stone laid for $2bn phosphate fertilizer mega-project in Iraq's Anbar
Al- Anbar ( – Iraq's Minister of Industry and Minerals, Khalid Battal Al-Najm, laid the foundation stone on Thursday (May 22, 2025) for a new $2 billion integrated phosphate fertilizer complex in Al-Qaim, Anbar governorate. This major project is a partnership between Iraq's State Phosphate Company, Asas Al-Handasa, and East China Engineering Science and Technology Co. (ECEC). Minister Al-Najm highlighted that Anbar's western desert holds one of the world's largest phosphate reserves, estimated at 10 billion tons. The new facility aims to produce 500,000 tons of Triple Superphosphate (TSP) and one million tons of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) annually. 'This project is a glimmer of hope and a cornerstone for major investments to utilize Anbar's minerals,' Al-Najm stated, adding that further silica and phosphate projects would be announced soon, some at the upcoming Baghdad Investment Forum in June. Economic expert Taha Al-Janabi noted the project's potential to redefine Iraq's use of natural resources by processing raw phosphate locally for higher value. The initiative is seen as a critical step towards economic diversification, job creation, and industrial revival in Anbar.
