Quantum computing stocks popped Tuesday, Jan. 21 in response to President Donald Trump’s newly announced Stargate program. The joint venture between Oracle (ORCL), SoftBank (SFTBY), and OpenAI is intended to invest $500 billion into artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the U.S.
For investors, it is also a comforting sign that Trump’s administration is cozying up to Big Tech. Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and Masayoshi Son all directly commented on Stargate, acknowledging that the joint venture had already been in the works prior to Trump’s inauguration. Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, said that 10 buildings were currently under construction in Texas. Wall Street seems to think this cooperation bodes well for quantum computing names. With this in mind, “Strong Buy”-rated Nvidia (NVDA) and Alphabet (GOOGL) are worthy buys here.
