If I Could Own Only 1 Quantum Computing Stock, This Would Be It

Considering that the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 index, (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) trades for 22.4 times forward earnings, this looks like a screaming deal.

I’m not sure how the quantum computing arms race will play out, but I believe Alphabet will greatly benefit from it. Even if it doesn’t, it still has a strong base business to lean on. With how cheap the stock is today, it seems like a no-brainer buy right now.
