Hino Motors, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), has reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department and other federal agencies<a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/hino-motors-toyota-subsidiary-agrees-plead-guilty-and-pay-over-16b-resolve-emissions-fraud"> regarding emissions testing fraud</a>. 
The company has agreed to pay over $1.6 billion to resolve allegations of fraudulent engine emissions testing and illegal engine imports. 
The agreement addresses violations that allowed the company to improperly import over 110,000 diesel engines into the U.S. between 2010 and 2022. 
The settlement includes both criminal and civil resolutions, with Hino Motors pleading guilty to criminal conspiracy charges.
The arrangement, which is still subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, also involves Hino's agreement to pay penalties and implement a series of corrective measures. 
According to the Justice Department, the company falsified engine certification data to bypass regulatory requirements, resulting in harmful air pollution. 
The agencies involved include Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), FBI, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General (DOT-OIG), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and State of California.
The settlement includes a $521.76 million criminal fine, along with a $525 million civil penalty for Hino. In addition, the company must contribute $155 million to a mitigation program aimed at addressing the excess emissions resulting from the violations.
This initiative will replace older, less efficient marine and locomotive engines across 49 states, reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by over 41,000 tons. 
These efforts are expected to have the same impact as removing 110,000 heavy-duty trucks from U.S. highways.
Hino's actions between 2010 and 2019, including manipulating emissions data, caused significant environmental harm.
Additionally, a recall program will ensure that non-compliant engines from 2017-2019 meet regulatory standards.
Price Action: TM shares are trading lower by 1.42% at $182.22 in premarket at last check Thursday.

Shares of IonQ Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) enjoyed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/quantum-computing">a quantum leap</a> of 33.48% in a single day to close Wednesday at $39.39. The catalyst?
A perfect storm of bullish momentum driving investor buying, including a Microsoft-powered tailwind and a $1 billion deal securing Maryland as the new epicenter of quantum computing.

IonQ stock is up over 336% over the past six months. It is riding a strong bullish momentum, with its share price above the five, 20 and 50-day EMAs, signaling buying pressure. IonQ stock's eight-day SMA (simple moving average) at $37.42 confirms a short-term bullish signal, while the 50-day SMA at $33.86 reinforces bullish sentiment.
However, the 20-day SMA at $40.97 presents a minor resistance level, suggesting potential near-term volatility. With the 200-day SMA at just $14.94, IONQ stock remains in a long-term uptrend, keeping the bulls in charge.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft Says &#8216;Get Quantum-Ready,&#8217; Wall Street Listens</h2>
Microsoft's strategic missions chief Mitra Azizirad fired up the quantum bulls on Wednesday, declaring 2025 "the year to become quantum-ready." 
That was all investors needed to send IonQ shares flying, as the company sits at the forefront of the quantum race with its cloud-accessible quantum computers and expanding partnerships.
IonQ CEO Peter Chapman doubled down on the optimism, <a href="https://investors.ionq.com/news/news-details/2025/IonQ-CEO-on-Timeline-to-Quantum-Value/default.aspx">projecting</a> strong 2024 results and profitability by 2030—a bold call in a sector where commercial viability remains a long game.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maryland's $1B Bet On IonQ</h2>
Beyond the tech buzz, IonQ locked in a<a href="https://investors.ionq.com/news/news-details/2025/State-of-Maryland-University-of-Maryland-Announce-1-Billion-Capital-of-Quantum-Initiative/default.aspx"> $1 billion deal</a> with the state of Maryland to build a 100,000-square-foot quantum computing hub at the University of Maryland. 
The investment is set to accelerate quantum research, create jobs, and cement IonQ's position as a leader in the space.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pentagon's Quantum Play: A $21.1M Air Force Deal</h2>
Adding to its bullish case, IonQ secured a $21.1 million <a href="https://ionq.com/news/ionq-announces-new-usd21-1-million-project-with-united-states-air-force" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contract</a> with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab to advance quantum networking infrastructure. 
This follows a $54.5 million deal signed in September, underscoring the military's growing reliance on quantum tech.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reality Check: Quantum Stocks Are Volatile</h2>
Despite the euphoria, IonQ remains a high-beta stock, swinging between massive gains and steep pullbacks. 
The College Park, Maryland-based company is still unprofitable and faces skepticism from bears, including controversial investor Martin Shkreli, who recently suggested shorting quantum computing stocks overvaluation concerns.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
With quantum investment topping $50 billion and giants like Amazon, Google, IBM, and Nvidia diving in, the sector's long-term potential is undeniable. But for IonQ investors, the road ahead could be as volatile as the quantum particles they're betting on.
Will IonQ's momentum hold, or is this just another quantum blip? Buckle up—2024 is shaping up to be a make-or-break year for the stock.
