D-Wave Quantum Inc. Common Shares (QBTS)

D-Wave Quantum and IonQ could be excellent plays on the nascent market.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a major part of our lives. From smartphones to workplaces, AI is changing how we live and work. While it offers many benefits, it also brings risks, such as job losses, growing inequality, and ethical challenges. The United Nations is focused on making sure that AI helps people while minimizing its dangers. The global body’s Global Digital Compact reflects these aspirations.

The quantum computing stock has dropped 18.8% so far in 2026. Buy the dip?

Global air travel is set to reach a new milestone with passenger numbers projected to climb to 10.2 billion this year, a 3.9% increase compared to 2025. That surge is driving fresh investment in airport facilities, digital systems, and operational upgrades, with AI playing an increasingly central role.

One of the key drivers behind the silver rally is also fueling the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the advent of quantum computing.

There are lots of quantum computing start-ups, but IBM, America's first tech company, has led the pack since the 1970s, and is set to continue that dominance through 2026 and beyond.

Amazon has announced another major round of job cuts as it continues to reshape its business around artificial intelligence. The company is laying off 16,000 corporate employees, marking the second wave of layoffs in just three months. This comes after 14,000 workers were let go in October, showing how fast and serious Amazon’s restructuring plans have become.

Both stocks are speculative, but one may stand out as the less risky choice.

There are some red flags with this stock that investors shouldn't ignore.

Quantum computing might be the next tech megatrend.

Meta and Microsoft are set to open the latest round of Big Tech earnings, with investors watching closely to see whether massive spending on AI is translating into durable growth. The scrutiny comes as Alphabet has recently gained momentum, reshaping expectations in an increasingly competitive AI landscape.

This stock is a textbook example of hype getting too far ahead of reality.

A fairy tale ending for quantum computing stocks likely isn't in the cards in 2026.
