This Is My Top Quantum Computing Stock for 2025, and It's Not IonQ or Rigetti Computing
IonQ and Rigetti Computing have surged 600% and 1,100%, respectively, since 2023 but could remain underdogs against this technology juggernaut.
Quantum computing has emerged as one of Wall Street's hottest investment topics. The hype is warranted -- the technology could be a game-changer for humankind. Even the earliest quantum computing chips are far more capable than today's best supercomputers.
Investors have flocked to some of the companies working on the technology. IonQ and Rigetti Computing, two of the hottest names, have soared 600% and 1,100%, respectively, since 2023.
Their popularity could eventually become a cautionary tale about the downside of following the herd. The upside in these speculative upstarts isn't what it once was. Instead, it's time to consider a longtime technology stalwart. Here is why Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is my top quantum computing stock to buy in 2025.
