D-Wave Quantum, Costco, AMD, Roku, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Tech stocks faced steep declines Wednesday as prominent market commentator Jim Cramer warned investors about overvaluation in quantum computing and artificial intelligence sectors, following earlier skepticism from NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42878295/quantum-stocks-tumble-why-rigetti-ionq-and-d-wave-are-falling">quantum technology&#8217;s timeline</a>.
What Happened: SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) shares plunged 16.44% to close at $15.02, while Quantum Corp. saw a 30.33% drop to $31.43.
The selloff extended to other quantum computing players, with IonQ Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) falling 39.2% and Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) declining 45.41%.
&#8220;Not too late to sell the myriad quantum stories out there..

Cramer&#8217;s warning came after Huang&#8217;s sobering assessment that practical quantum computers could be decades away, with optimistic estimates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/01/42881186/quantum-stocks-face-reality-check-after-nvidia-ceos-comments-what-do-the-charts-show">ranging from 15 to 30 years</a>.

The tech selloff coincided with broader market pressures, including rising treasury yields, with the 30-year yield reaching 4.90%. Higher borrowing costs particularly affect growth-oriented companies in the AI and quantum computing sectors.

At CES 2025, SoundHound AI demonstrated its new in-vehicle voice commerce platform, integrating with restaurant brands for hands-free ordering through car infotainment systems.
The dramatic declines follow substantial gains over the past year, with some quantum computing stocks posting returns exceeding 800%.

Jim Cramer Warns On 'Quantum Stories' As Stocks Plunge: 'We Need You Out Before The Froth Goes Away'

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s refusal to rule out military action to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, the Pentagon has categorically denied having any such plans.
What Happened: The Pentagon, on Wednesday, stated that it was &#8220;not aware&#8221; of any plans to invade Greenland, as <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5075354-pentagon-no-greenland-invasion-plans/">reported</a> by The Hill. This statement came after Trump declined to dismiss the possibility of using military force to acquire Denmark&#8217;s autonomous territory. Deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh, when questioned about potential contingency plans, responded, &#8220;I&#8217;m certainly not going to get into hypothetical situations.&#8221;
&#8220;We're concerned with the real national security concerns that confront this building every day,&#8221; said Singh.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Trump stated that the U.S. needed both Greenland and the Panama Canal for national and economic security. However, he did not provide any specific plans for acquiring either. &#8220;People really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up, because we need it for national security,&#8221; Trump said, referring to Greenland.
During his first term, Trump had contemplated buying Greenland from Denmark, a proposal that was rejected by the Danish prime minister. The last attempt by the U.S. to purchase Greenland was in 1946, offering&nbsp;Denmark $100 million in gold,&nbsp;which was declined. The U.S. currently maintains&nbsp;a military base on the&nbsp;island, Pituffik Space Base, as&nbsp;part of mutual defense agreements&nbsp;with Denmark.
Why It Matters: The recent comments by President-elect Trump have rekindled interest in his previous plans to acquire Greenland. 
His son, Donald Trump Jr., recently visited Greenland, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5075354-pentagon-no-greenland-invasion-plans/">sparking speculation</a> about a renewed push for control over the mineral-rich island. 
Furthermore, bettors on the federally authorized betting platform Kalshi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42836019/odds-of-trump-buying-greenland-hit-21-on-betting-platform-kalshi-amid-reports-of-donald-trump-jrs-visit-to-arctic-region">predicted a 21% chance</a> of Trump buying Greenland.

Pentagon Dismisses Greenland Invasion Plans Following Trump's Comments: 'We're Concerned With The Real National Security Concerns'

Wildfires in the Los Angeles area have canceled at least one major sporting event Wednesday and more could be on the way as officials work to control the spread and more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42878466/wildfire-rips-through-las-pacific-palisades-neighborhood-3000-acres-burned-30000-evacuated-homes-destroyed">devastation in the region.</a>
Here's a look at how the sports world is being impacted and could be in the future.
NHL Game Cancelled: Wednesday night's game between the Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings has been <a href="https://media.nhl.com/public/news/18544">postponed </a>due to the wildfires.
The game was set to be held at the Crypto.com Arena at 10:30 p.m. ET and will be held at a future date, the NHL reported.
The league said its thoughts were with the Kings and people of the Los Angeles area "during this difficult time."
The Kings have no home games after Wednesday until Jan. 20. &nbsp;
NFL Playoffs Game: On Monday, Jan. 13, the Los Angeles Rams host the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium.
While it is unknown what the fire situation will look like at that time, the National Football League <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-closely-monitoring-developments-los-angeles-fires-vikings-rams-playoff-game">said </a>it is closely monitoring developments in the region.
"The NFL continues to closely monitor developments in the area and will remain in contact with both clubs and the NFLPA," the NFL said.
Monday's game at 8 p.m. ET is set to be broadcast on ESPN and ABC; stream on ESPN+, all units of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
With the second round of the NFL Playoffs set for games on Sat. Jan 18 and Sun. Jan 19, this situation will be closely monitored to see what the NFL will do if the fires are not fully contained by Monday.
The Rams won home-field advantage by winning their division and moving the game's location too far from their home stadium could see claims of losing that advantage.

NBA Impact: The NBA has not canceled any games for Wednesday, but could be forced to make changes on Thursday.
The Los Angeles Lakers, which also play at the Crypto.com arena, have a home game Thursday and have home games on Jan. 11, Jan. 13, Jan. 15 and Jan 17.
Outside of the Lakers games, the NBA already saw some changes to its TV coverage with ESPN announcing it wouldn't have its normal "NBA Today" and "NBA Countdown" crews in studio as the Los Angeles studio was in the impacted area, as <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/palisades-fire-los-angeles-sports-updates/#">reported </a>by FrontOfficeSports.
Several NBA coaches are also impacted by the fires with Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick and Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr both saying they had family members evacuate homes in the fire area, as <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/sport/steve-kerr-jj-redick-pacific-palisades-wildfires-spt-intl/index.html">reported </a>by CNN.
"Everything I'm seeing and reading is just terrifying, what's happening down there," Kerr said.
The former NBA player said his mother evacuated her home. Kerr attended Palisades Charter High School, which has been featured in TV shows and movies. The school suffered damage from the fire.
Redick told reporters that his family evacuated their home in the evacuation zone. He added that other relatives have homes in the evacuation zones.
"I know that a lot of people are freaking out right now, including my family. From the sound of things, with the winds coming tonight, I know a lot of people are scared," Redick said ahead of the Lakers Tuesday night game.
The Fire Details: The wildfires have brought devastation to the region with two people dead and orders for more than 30,000 people to evacuate their homes in the area.
Celebrities including Mark Hamill, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mandy Moore and James Woods are among the entertainment figures who own homes in the region and evacuated.
The National Weather Service issued an alert of potential fire conditions due to high winds in the area ahead of the fires.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

The start of 2025 has brought a sharp uptick in equity drawdown risks, with Goldman Sachs estimating a near 30% probability of market corrections, fueled by surging policy uncertainty <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">and shifting inflation dynamics.</a>
In a note published Wednesday, analysts Andrea Ferrario and Christian Mueller-Glissmann highlighted heightened risks stemming from rising inflation pressures, trade tensions and political uncertainty ahead of Donald Trump's second presidential term, set to start on Jan. 20, 2025.
The analysts indicated that these factors could lead to deeper market volatility and weaker forward returns for equities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Driving The Increased Risk?</h1>
Goldman's framework shows the probability of an equity drawdown has jumped to nearly 30%, a significant rise from levels seen in 2024. Historically, when drawdown risk crosses this threshold, markets have experienced lower returns and, in some cases, severe corrections. 
Goldman indicates that extreme outcomes are more likely if the probability exceeds 35%.
One of the primary drivers of this heightened risk is the resurgence of inflation, which has shifted from negative to positive. This trend is particularly concerning for investors, as inflation could erode profit margins and limit central bank interventions in the event of market turmoil.
Policy uncertainty has also climbed sharply. &#8220;Global trade and the risk of U.S. tariffs have been at the epicenter of this surge in uncertainty, with measures of trade policy uncertainty spiking above their 2018-2019 highs,&#8221; the analysts wrote.
Although the macroeconomic environment remains broadly supportive of equities, Goldman cautioned that market sentiment could deteriorate rapidly under adverse scenarios. 
A combination of geopolitical risks, inflation surprises and corporate earnings misses could create a perfect storm for investors, leading to sharper corrections.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Hedging Strategies For Uncertain Times</h1>
Goldman recommended hedging strategies to protect portfolios in this uncertain environment.
 &#8220;We like shorter-dated S&amp;P 500 put spreads to hedge near-term correction risk due to negative growth surprises, policy uncertainty into the U.S. presidential inauguration, or misses in the January earnings season,&#8221; the note said.
For investors worried about more severe economic downturns, longer-dated S&amp;P 500 puts may offer better protection. &#8220;After the recent hawkish repricing, longer-dated S&amp;P 500 puts would likely also benefit from falling front-end rates in the event of severe growth shocks,&#8221; the analysts added.
The note also highlighted hybrid instruments, which combine equity and currency exposures, as tools to hedge against rising rates and trade-related risks. 
Goldman specifically recommended &#8220;S&amp;P 500 down/EURUSD down hybrids&#8221; and &#8220;S&amp;P 500 down/US 10y up double digitals&#8221; as effective hedges. 
The former derivative is ideal for scenarios where both the equity market and the euro decline simultaneously, potentially in reaction to tariffs policies, while the latter works well in environments where equity markets are under pressure and bond yields rise as a result of inflation concerns or expectations of higher interest rates.
Since Trump&#8217;s election victory in November, the U.S. dollar index — as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) — has risen by over 5%. During the same period, blue-chip stocks, tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) have shown a flat performance.
Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds are hovering near 4.95%, climbing over 100 basis points since mid-September 2024.
