Ticker Take

Matt Orton doesn't pick stocks. He picks trends, then finds the stocks riding them. This week on Ticker Take, the strategist from Raymond James Investment Management shares his "global trendsetters" -- companies leading his three megatrends of AI, an aging population, and government spending. He walks us through 8 stocks, spanning chipmakers, healthcare, and defense. As always, this is not financial advice.

Quantum computing is no longer a science experiment. These machines are being built right now, and they're powerful enough that they could one day break the encryption protecting your bank account, your data, and the systems that run entire countries. We spoke exclusively with Inder Singh, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of IonQ, one of the leading companies in the field. He explains what a quantum computer actually does, why it takes us beyond the AI boom, and how IonQ went from thirty people and a dream to five generations of machines running at customer sites. We break down the technology, the threat to encryption, the money pouring in from governments, and what it all means for investors. This is not financial advice.
