El auge de las acciones cuánticas genera debate: descubre qué opinan los analistas sobre los riesgos y oportunidades en el sector.

Las acciones de computación cuántica explotan: ¿Oportunidad de inversión o burbuja especulativa?

Move over, software darlings. The future of tech is being etched in silicon, and chipmakers like NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">writing the playbook</a>.
Howard Chan, founder and CEO of Kurv Investment Management, shared his exclusive insights with Benzinga, highlighting a sector where he said demand is outstripping supply: "We still favor the hardware or infrastructure side of the AI wave. Chipmakers and cloud computing service providers benefit from existing and future budgeted capital expenditure allocation."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is The Nasdaq-100 Overheating?</h1>
Tech valuations have soared, leaving some investors wondering if growth can keep up. 
"Consensus EPS growth is 21% for Nasdaq-100, up from 15% this year. That might be a tall order, but, after all, they have delivered this for the past&#8230; 20 years,&#8221; Chan said.
Unlike other sectors buckling under high interest rates, tech titans boast robust balance sheets, giving them a cushion. Chan flags the second quarter as pivotal: "The base effect on EPS growth rates will be most obvious in Q2 when the rolling 12-month EPS might bottom."

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">NVDA, AVGO: The Tech Titans To Watch</h1>
Hardware companies such as Nvidia and Broadcom are uniquely positioned to lead the AI boom, according to Chan. "The demand for compute still outstrips the ability of makers to meet that demand. There's small sign of new entrants. However, it will take time for them to catch up."
For investors tracking the sustainability of these gains, Chan offers a roadmap: "For hardware [NVDA/AVGO]: demand from the likes of TSLA/GOOGL/AMZN/META/MSFT."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AI: Beyond Tech</h1>
AI's impact isn't confined to tech. Chan sees a ripple effect, particularly in biotech and construction. "Directly, productivity will rise in service industries, although this might take a while as people need to be trained on it." 
Indirectly, AI investments will cascade into non-tech sectors, like construction, as companies expand to meet rising demand, he said. 
As the AI revolution heats up, Nvidia and Broadcom stand as the architects of the next wave, bridging the gap between soaring demand and supply constraints. With EPS growth expectations riding high and demand signals flashing green, the road ahead for tech's chipmakers may be paved in silicon gold.

Oklo shares are trading higher after Wedbush initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating on the stock and announced a $25 price target.

In the current market session, Merit Medical Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMSI#NASDAQ">MMSI</a>) share price is at $97.14, after a 0.01% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 7.52%, but in the past year, went up by 28.50%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing Merit Medical Systems P/E Against Its 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 44.09 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Merit Medical Systems Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 47.38. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Merit Medical Systems Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734632112_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Empowering AI Innovation Through Natural Language</h2>
Wordware seeks to transform AI development by introducing plain English as the new programming language for building AI agents. This will allow better collaboration between domain experts and engineers, drastically reducing the time required to create AI solutions.
"Excel gave us power over numbers. Notion gave us power over information. Wordware gives us power over AI. We're creating the new standard for encoding human expertise into AI systems," Filip Kozera, cofounder and CEO of Wordware, told Forbes.
Wordware offers a unified development platform that allows businesses to build sophisticated AI workflows without extensive coding knowledge. Using this model, startups and established enterprises leverage Wordware to streamline operations and deploy AI-driven solutions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Founders and Their Vision</h2>
Filip Kozera and Robert Chandler founded the company. The two met while studying deep learning at the University of Cambridge, according to Wordware's website. Their shared passion for artificial intelligence laid the foundation for their partnership. Before founding Wordware, Kozera launched a company focused on augmenting human memory while Chandler led machine learning operations for Five AI, a self-driving technology company later acquired by Bosch.
Their vision became clear as large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and GPT-4 began to showcase unprecedented reasoning capabilities. This inspired Kozera and Chandler to reimagine how AI solutions are built.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rapid Growth and Record-Breaking Success</h2>
The company's journey through Y Combinator showcased the team's ingenuity and market potential. Even before Demo Day, the company had secured multiple term sheets, reflecting investor enthusiasm. By the time the seed round closed, Wordware had raised 15 times the average Y Combinator seed size, according to Forbes.
A highly successful Product Hunt launch fueled this rapid growth. Within weeks, Wordware's early AI application garnered 350,000 users and increased revenue 20-fold.

According to PwC, a leading professional services network, 90% of workers are stuck in repetitive tasks, which Gallup says costs the global economy $8.9 trillion annually.
"Today's workplace isn't just inefficient – it's actively suppressing human potential," Kozera explains. By democratizing AI development, Kozera says that Wordware is unlocking a new workplace productivity and innovation era.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Platform for the Future</h2>
With a record-breaking seed round secured, Wordware is poised to revolutionize how businesses and individuals build and deploy AI solutions. The platform's expansion in 2025 will allow more users to harness its capabilities, making AI tools as accessible as any modern software platform.

Revolutionizing AI: First Full-Stack OS For Development Announces $30 Million Seed Backed By Top Investors

Trio Petroleum Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPET#AMEX">TPET</a>) stock is moving higher on Thursday after the company announced that it will acquire certain petroleum and natural gas <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42577189">properties held</a> by Novacor Exploration Ltd.
The Details: Trio signed a non-binding letter of intent with Novacor under which the company would pay $1.4 million for 100% working interest in the assets, payable with $650,000 in cash and the remainder in shares of common stock of Trio.
The properties, located in Saskatchewan, Canada, currently feature seven producing wells. The assets produce 70 barrels per day of heavy crude oil from cash-flow-positive wells, with royalty obligations ranging from 13.5% to 15% and a 2% gross overriding royalty. 
Production could double with four re-entry wells and two reactivations, each costing $30,000 and expected to add 10 bpd. A reserve report prepared in August 2024 by Petrotech and Associates estimates 91.5 MBBL of total proved and probable oil reserves for the currently producing wells.
&#8220;We are excited to acquire an initial footprint in this very lucrative oil and gas area of Canada and home to some of the largest players in the industry such as Cenovus Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Rife Resources and many others who have made Heavy Oil a staple of their operation, and where numerous opportunities to acquire additional highly economic fields exist,&#8221; stated Robin Ross, Trio&#8217;s CEO.

D.A. Davidson &amp; Co. analyst Alexander Platt initiated coverage on IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IONQ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price target of $50</a>.
The analyst sees IonQ as a standout pure-play investment poised to benefit from the quantum computing sector&#8217;s rapid expansion, fueled by the limitations of classical computing in tackling complex problems.
IonQ&#8217;s core advantage lies in its trapped-ion qubit architecture, which delivers superior reliability, accuracy, and scalability compared to rival designs, adds the analyst.
Platt says that unlike IBM, Google, and others facing challenges with inconsistencies and short operational lifespans, IonQ leverages stable atomic properties for greater precision and extended performance times.
This approach reduces errors, enables more complex calculations, and simplifies system connectivity, allowing IonQ to tackle a wider array of problems effectively, writes the analyst.
The analyst says that Quantum Computing as a Service offers significant growth potential by providing access to quantum processing units without the need for upfront hardware investment.
IonQ&#8217;s Quantum Cloud platform and Hybrid Services allow enterprises to leverage quantum-enhanced solutions and integrate quantum and classical computing, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) and Spear Alpha ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPRX#NASDAQ">SPRX</a>).

IonQ Positioned To Dominate Quantum Computing Era: Analyst Highlights Unique Trapped-Ion Advantage

On Thursday, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) announced results from its Phase 2 study of suzetrigine for painful lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR), a disorder that causes pain in the lower back and hip&nbsp;that radiates down the back of the thigh into the leg.
The study met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in pain on the numeric<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42571378/vertex-announces-results-from-phase-2-study-of-suzetrigine-for-the-treatment-of-painful-lumbosacra" rel="noreferrer noopener"> pain rating scale (NPRS)</a>.
The suzetrigine arm showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful within-group reduction in pain from baseline, with a mean change in NPRS at Week 12 of -2.02.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42396975/vertex-has-5-billion-plus-opportunity-in-pain-and-kidney-disease-programs-analyst-upgrades-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vertex Has $5 Billion-Plus Opportunity In Pain And Kidney Disease Programs, Analyst Upgrades Stock</a>
The study also included a placebo reference arm, which showed a similar within-group reduction in pain from baseline, with a mean change in NPRS at Week 12 of -1.98.
Secondary and other endpoints were consistent with the study&#8217;s primary endpoint.
Vertex also conducted post-hoc analyses showing variability in the placebo response across study sites, a recognized issue in pain trials.
In the ~40% of sites that had lower placebo responses, the suzetrigine arm within-group reduction in pain was similar to the overall study and had greater separation from the placebo arm.
These analyses suggest that trial design innovation may better control the placebo response and separate the treatment effect of suzetrigine from placebo in future studies, which Vertex will incorporate as it designs the pivotal program.
Suzetrigine was generally well tolerated in the study. William Blair notes that Vertex plans to move suzetrigine into Phase 3 trials following discussions with regulators despite Phase 2 results not clearly outperforming a placebo.
The analyst questions the decision, citing concerns about the trial&#8217;s design and the small effect size, which could make it hard to ensure success.
Price Action: VRTX stock is down 13.4% at $387.37 at last check Thursday.

Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) have been partners in an electric delivery van deal since the EV company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/21/11/24017625/amazon-doubling-down-on-rivian-ipo-what-investors-need-to-know">went public in 2021</a>. Here's a look at the recent milestone hit and what's next for both companies.
What Happened: Amazon partnered with Rivian, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39529434/rivian-investor-day-highlights-ceo-scaringe-focuses-on-amazon-tesla-partnerships-says-ev-chargin">company it invested in</a> prior to the 2021 IPO, on a deal for 100,000 electric delivery vehicles with a goal to have all the vehicles on the road by 2030.
With six years left to go, Amazon is one-fifth of the way to that goal, which is part of an overall Climate Pledge to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
Amazon had its first Rivian EDV on the road in 2022 and now has over 20,000 of the Rivian vehicles in its fleet, according to a report from <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/amazon-announces-major-milestone-in-ev-transition-with-rivian/amp/">Teslarati</a>.
While the majority of the vehicles are operating in the United States, Amazon is also using the electric delivery vans in Europe.
For Amazon, the use of the electric delivery vans gets the company closer to its goal of net-zero carbon emissions, while also making things more efficient for drivers.
In 2024, over one billion Amazon packages have been delivered using the Rivian electric delivery vans.

What's Next: Though the 20,000 milestone may only be one-fifth of the way to the 100,000 goal, it has been rapidly increasing. In March 2023, Amazon had only 3,000 of the Rivian vans in its fleet according to the report.
Amazon will continue to anticipate deliveries of the Rivian vehicles to meet its climate goals and to streamline driver efficiency.
For Rivian, the Amazon 100,000 unit order remains a key priority and can help provide a strong cushion of production and delivery unit figures as it awaits its new consumer vehicle models.
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe shared earlier this year that the electric delivery vans for Amazon rolled out slower than anticipated.
Back in November 2023, Rivian announced that it had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/11/35659331/rivian-stock-upshifts-on-strong-q3-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-beat-increased-production-guidance-and">amended its deal</a> with Amazon to no longer be exclusive.
"We have amended our Amazon agreement with terms and conditions, which provide the opportunity to sell commercial vans to other customers, helping more companies reduce their CO2 emissions," Scaringe said at the time.
Rivian also said at the time that it was in "active discussions" with other potential EDV fleet customers. In December 2023, Rivian announced a deal with AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>).

The story of Ilya Lichtenstein, known for his role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42055570/bitfinex-bitcoin-laundering-case-lands-crocodile-of-wall-street-in-jail">the Bitfinex hack</a>, and his wife Heather &#8220;Razzlekhan&#8221; Morgan has taken a new turn following the release of the Netflix documentary, &#8220;Biggest Heist Ever.&#8221;

Ilya Lichtenstein&#8217;s Confession:
In the wake of the documentary&#8217;s worldwide attention, Lichtenstein took the opportunity to set the record straight. &#8220;I hacked Bitfinex, I stole and laundered thousands of Bitcoin, and I am so sorry for everything,&#8221; he admitted, aiming to dismantle years of misinformation surrounding the hack. 
His statement reflects a deep sense of remorse as he looks to make amends, stating, &#8220;I can&#8217;t change the past, but I can and will do everything I can to make amends.&#8221;
Towards a Career In Cybersecurity:
Lichtenstein is planning to use his hacking skills for positive impact. &#8220;Nobody knows the dark web better than someone who has spent years navigating it,&#8221; he explained, aiming to leverage this knowledge in cybersecurity. 
His ambition to work in cybersecurity post-incarceration paints a narrative of redemption, suggesting that those with a background in hacking might contribute to digital security in meaningful ways.

This move not only leverages her infamy but also showcases the couple&#8217;s divergent paths towards rehabilitation and entrepreneurship.

<li>Investor Risk Awareness: The narrative serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with digital assets, urging investors to be cautious and informed about where they store their cryptocurrencies.</li>
<li>Redemption and Repurposing: Lichtenstein&#8217;s pivot towards cybersecurity post-documentary reflects a broader narrative of how past misdeeds can be turned into opportunities for positive change.</li>
<li>Media Influence: The documentary&#8217;s portrayal of the couple has influenced public perception, providing a platform for both Lichtenstein&#8217;s plea for redemption and Morgan&#8217;s entrepreneurial endeavors.</li>
