Battleground Quantum Stocks Catch A Bid 🤖 

Skepticism from several big tech CEOs, namely Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, caused a quantum computing stock bloodbath last week. The industry bounced back today, bringing out a bold call from one of retail’s favorite market prognosticators.

Jim Cramer took to X this afternoon to share his view that today’s rebound, which saw names like Rigetti Computing soar nearly 50%, is “another exit point” for anyone who may have overstayed their welcome in the space. 😱 

A Stocktwits poll covering quantum stocks shows 33% of the over 8,500 respondents agree with Cramer, though 55% foresee today’s move as part of a much larger rebound ahead. 🤯 

Time will tell who is right, but it’s clear that earnings season and comments from the industry’s biggest players will continue to move these stocks in a big way!

Meanwhile, tech giants are spending billions on AI, quantum computing, and other technologies…but cutting headcounts to keep expenses in check. Microsoft confirmed it’s doing performance-based job cuts across departments, while Meta made headlines after an internal memo announced 5% cuts as it prepares for an ‘intense year.’ 😬
