"It might seem like a daunting time to buy new stocks. The S&P 500 is hovering near all-time highs and trading at historically high valuations, and some unpredictable headwinds -- including tariffs, geopolitical conflicts, and a government shutdown -- could pop that bubble. But if you have $1,000 to set aside for a least a few years and can look past those near-term challenges, there are still plenty of growth stocks worth investing in."
"Yet quantum computers are still pricier, bigger, and consume a lot more power than traditional servers and mainframes. They also output a higher percentage of errors. To address those shortcomings, IonQ develops quantum processing units (QPUs) which trap ions within electromagnetic fields so they can be manipulated by lasers to achieve a quantum state. Unlike older electron-driven systems, which accelerate electrons within cryogenically cooled "superloops" to perform quantum calculations, IonQ's QPUs don't need to be refrigerated."
The S&P 500 is near all-time highs and trading at historically high valuations, while tariffs, geopolitical conflicts, and a possible government shutdown represent unpredictable headwinds that could trigger a market downturn. Investors who can set aside $1,000 for several years and look past near-term challenges can still find growth stocks with secular tailwinds. IonQ is an early mover in quantum computing, developing QPUs that trap ions with electromagnetic fields and manipulate them with lasers, avoiding cryogenic refrigeration and offering greater scalability than electron-based systems. IonQ sells three tiers of quantum systems, offers cloud-based computing, and analysts forecast a 94% revenue CAGR from 2024 to 2027. AppLovin operates in ad tech, and Super Micro Computer produces AI servers, both positioned to benefit from long-term growth drivers.
