D-Wave Unveils Advantage2 Quantum System

🔬 D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) has launched its sixth-generation quantum computer, Advantage2, now accessible via its Leap cloud platform. The system boasts over 1,200 qubits with 20-way connectivity, enhancing its ability to tackle complex optimization problems in fields like supply chain management and materials science. Initial deployments are planned for institutions such as Germany's Jülich Supercomputing Centre and Davidson Technologies in Alabama.

📈 Following the announcement, D-Wave's stock surged nearly 30%, reflecting investor optimism about the system's capabilities. CEO Alan Baratz emphasized that Advantage2 represents a significant milestone for the quantum computing industry, aiming to solve problems beyond the reach of classical supercomputers.

💡 Despite the positive reception, D-Wave reported a 64% decline in bookings for the quarter, attributing it to the nascent stage of quantum commercialization. The company remains focused on expanding its qubit capacity, targeting a full Advantage2 system with up to 7,000 qubits in the future.

Walmart Faces Off With Tariffs

🛒 Walmart (WMT) broke its silence and warned that Trump’s tariffs would force price hikes, sparking a public rebuke from the former president, who told the retailer to “EAT THE TARIFFS.” Despite the blowback, Walmart doubled down on its commitment to low prices, citing razor-thin margins and rising costs.

📉 Analysts noted Walmart’s unusual shift in tone was strategic—both a signal to consumers and a not-so-subtle nudge to policymakers that tariffs are unsustainable without pricing consequences. The move coincided with rising inflation concerns and a broader wave of corporate pushback on trade policy.

📊 With 90% of Americans living within 10 miles of a Walmart, the company has leeway to be vocal. But as Target (TGT), Lowe’s (LOW), and Best Buy (BBY) prepare to report earnings, all eyes are on whether other retailers will join Walmart in taking a public stand—or stay quiet and eat the cost.
