Make way, AI. Quantum computing could be the next technology frontier that investors clamor to venture into, and Nvidia Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486464/nvidias-quantum-pivot-chip-giant-reportedly-mulls-major-stake-in-psiquantum-amid-rising-global-interest">investment in quantum upstart </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486464/nvidias-quantum-pivot-chip-giant-reportedly-mulls-major-stake-in-psiquantum-amid-rising-global-interest">PsiQuantum</a> could just be the match that ignites the fire.
As per Reuters, Nvidia is in deep discussions to heavily invest in PsiQuantum, a company developing quantum computers on a scalable basis with the use of mainstream chip production — an applied benefit that gives it an edge over competitors employing more unusual approaches. 
PsiQuantum is currently collaborating with the U.S. and Australian governments to construct systems in Chicago and Brisbane. This year, it reportedly raised $750 million in investment from investors such as BlackRock, taking its valuation to $6 billion.
This might be a watershed moment for the quantum theme. For investors not yet willing to take a plunge in early-stage startups per se, quantum and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">AI-oriented ETFs</a> offer a more diversified entry into exposure. Two names that always seem to be mentioned together are the Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) and the WisdomTree AI &amp; Innovation Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTAI#BATS">WTAI</a>).
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45500629/hewlett-packard-nvidia-deepen-collaboration-on-ai-factory-solutions">Hewlett Packard, Nvidia Deepen Collaboration On AI Factory Solutions</a>
But as the quantum chatter rises, which of these ETFs is best suited to ride the wave?
Nvidia: The Common Ground
Both funds share one major trait — a heavy stake in Nvidia. And right now, that's not a bad place to be. The chipmaker sits at the heart of the AI boom, but this year, it's also been signaling growing interest in the quantum computing space.
In March, Nvidia announced a quantum research center in Boston in conjunction with Harvard and MIT.
It&#8217;s now said to be in negotiations to invest millions in PsiQuantum, a company that might develop usable quantum systems much sooner than originally anticipated.
This is a stark contrast to CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s previous opinion that real-world quantum computing was &#8220;decades away.&#8221; Nvidia&#8217;s changing position might propel a re-rating of quantum exposure within tech portfolios, and QTUM and WTAI are both poised to profit.
The Investment Angle
QTUM is for the investor who desires exposure to the theme of quantum without venturing too far into the realm of speculation. It features solid players such as Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and employs a rules-based index approach that keeps its sights firmly fixed on machine learning and quantum progress. Notably, D-wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>), a pure-play quantum company, currently has found its way to the top position in the fund&#8217;s portfolio.
WTAI, however, is a more accommodating fund. It holds riskier innovators like AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), apart from companies dabbling in quantum computing. This fund may be riskier but might also deliver unusually large returns if quantum and AI come together sooner than anticipated.

The Bottom Line
Nvidia&#8217;s PsiQuantum acquisition may signal the start of a new chapter in the quantum computing saga, one where functionality starts to supplant sheer theory. For cautious investors looking to play the quantum game, QTUM and WTAI present two distinct, but attractive, paths into the quantum narrative.
Want something more traditional with a dash of quantum? QTUM may be your cup of tea.
Want a tech-agnostic innovation play with a quantum punch? WTAI may be the preferable option.
Either way, it appears Nvidia&#8217;s next gamble may very well reboot the quantum discussion, and these ETFs are patiently ready to shine.

The first quarter saw Carvana achieve impressive financial results, with revenue hitting $4.23 billion and adjusted EBITDA reaching $488 million, both surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations. Retail unit sales soared by 46% year-over-year to a record 133,898 vehicles, driving strong profitability.

Net income stood at $373 million, representing an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45265795/carvana-announces-record-first-quarter-2025-results">8.8% margin</a>, while the adjusted EBITDA margin climbed to 11.5%. The company also generated a healthy $205 million in free cash flow, exceeding forecasts.
Analysts have responded positively to these results, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA/analyst-ratings">several firms</a> raising their price targets for the stock, citing improved operational efficiency and expanding financing margins. 
What Else: Looking ahead, Carvana anticipates continued momentum in the second quarter, projecting 138,000 units sold and $536 million in adjusted EBITDA. 
The company maintains its long-term goal of selling 3 million units annually with a 13.5% EBITDA margin, seeing substantial growth potential in the evolving online auto retail market.

Why Is Alibaba Stock Trading Lower On Monday?

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) shares are soaring Monday amid a surge in retail investor interest. Preliminary results for the second quarter appear to have sparked a short squeeze in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MULN/short-interest">heavily shorted stock</a>.
What To Know: The sharp move higher in shares of Mullen Automotive comes after the company filed a notice of delayed quarterly results late Friday, which also included unaudited preliminary figures showing improved financial performance for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025.
According to the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1499961/000182912625003776/mullenautomotive_nt10q.htm">filing</a>, Mullen expects to report approximately $4 million in vehicle sales revenue for the second quarter, representing a notable increase year-over-year driven by a customer waiving return rights on 60 vehicles. 
The company also estimated that it will report a net loss of $53.9 million for the period, compared to a loss of $171.4 million in the same quarter last year. Mullen cited lower research and development spending and warrant revaluation gains for the expected reduction in losses. These estimates remain unaudited and are subject to change as Mullen finalizes its 10-Q filing.
Mullen was expected to report its second-quarter results in the coming weeks, but delayed the report date due to analysis needed on the treatment of the company's majority-owned subsidiary, Bollinger Motors, which was placed in receivership by a court order on May 7, as well as pending asset transfers.
Mullen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44495632/whats-going-on-with-mullen-automotive-stock-wednesday">said in March</a> that it expected to close the second quarter with its &#8220;strongest revenue performance to date&#8221; as momentum continued to build. 
Traders appear to be ignoring the delayed filing news and previous operational challenges and focusing on the preliminary results. The stock is very heavily shorted, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, which appears to be adding fuel to the move on Monday. The company also had a market cap of less than $100,000 as of Friday&#8217;s close, which is likely contributing to the extreme volatility. 
Mullen shares are trading on abnormally high volume Monday with 487 million shares traded at last check, versus the company&#8217;s average trading volume of about 5 million, per Benzinga Pro <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">data</a>. 
Price Action: Mullen Automotive shares were up roughly 135%, trading around 39 cents at the time of publication Monday, according to<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro</a>.

Mullen Automotive Stock Is Ripping Higher Monday: What's Driving The Action?

BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya maintained a Buy rating on Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $160</a> on Monday.
Arya listened to Nvidia CEO&#8217;s Computex 2025 keynote and then had a chance to virtually catch up with management (CFO) after the event.
The analyst highlighted Nvidia&#8217;s expanding portfolio, TAM (Total Addressable Market) expansion with the new NVLINK Fusion, rack-scale in full production, RTX Pro enterprise server, and sovereign AI buildout.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45495742/nvidia-unveils-ai-tools-for-humanoid-robots-launches-quantum-ai-supercomputer-to-drive-next-tech-era" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia Unveils AI Tools For Humanoid Robots, Launches Quantum-AI Supercomputer To Drive Next Tech Era</a>
Nvidia Arya&#8217;s top sector pick. The company&#8217;s expanding portfolio implies a broad set of AI products across cloud, enterprise, humanoid robots, workstations, gaming, software libraries, quantum, and 6G, all underlying what Nvidia referred to as a &#8220;multi-trillion dollar AI factory&#8221; industry, per the analyst.
He noted that TAM expansion with the new NVLINK Fusion opened Nvidia&#8217;s proprietary interconnect and networking tech to third-party custom accelerators (ASICs) and CPUs.
Arya is highly confident in rack-scale GB200 NVL 72 Blackwell Systems, and the transition path to next-gen Blackwell Ultra GB300 systems will be easier from the third quarter.
The analyst said the RTX Pro enterprise server extends AI into the enterprise, causing more competition for legacy x86.
He also highlighted some benefits from last week&#8217;s Middle-East deals in the second half of 2025, though more benefits will be seen from 2026 onward (a 5-year project), given the time required to set up new infrastructure.
As per Arya, the next significant catalyst is the fiscal first-quarter earnings call, which could be contentious, related to recent restrictions on China H20 shipments.
As per the analyst, Nvidia&#8217;s key differentiators include its ability to expand its addressable market across multiple vectors of silicon, systems, software, and services, drive scale with global supply-chain partners, and solid balance sheet to make strategic investments in the ecosystem.
With NVLInk Fusion, Nvidia can provide its proprietary interconnect fabric and switch (Spectrum) to cloud service providers for use as chiplet in systems with (modified) third-party ASICs (from partners Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mrvl#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>)) or extend the integration of Nvidia GPU with other Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)-based CPU (Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>)) Arya noted. Separately, Nvidia launched Grace CPU C1, a new single-socket CPU for power efficient edge, telco, and storage systems, competing against rival x86 products from Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), he added.
Although Nvidia said it was incredibly challenging, Grace Blackwell is in full production. The analyst noted that his management discussion suggests a higher level of confidence in the rollout and robust demand. Unlike GTC, it did not provide any specific metrics on cloud orders.
Nvidia is on track to upgrade to Grace Blackwell GB300 in the third quarter, which has similar architecture as GB200 but with an upgraded Blackwell chip, 1.5x more inference likely due to its 1.5x more high-bandwidth memory and 2x networking, Arya said. The analyst highlighted that management made no specific comments on gross margin progression.
Last, no new Hopper or salvage of China H20 products were written down recently; only low-volume L20 is being sold, he said. He added that China is still important at $50 billion TAM per Nvidia.
Price Action: Nvidia stock is trading lower by 0.08% to $135.30 at last check Monday.

Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Adecoagro P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 51.55 in the Food Products industry, Adecoagro Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 10.18. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
