Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) were climbing in early trading on Friday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44329639/semtech-posts-better-than-expected-earnings-joins-rubrik-docusign-pagerduty-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-friday">upbeat fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Roth Capital Markets On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/599ecad3ca17380001263601/suji-desilva">Analyst Suji Desilva</a> maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $7 to $10.
D-Wave Quantum reported revenues of $2.3 million, up 23.5% sequentially but down 21% year-on-year, Desilva said. The figure came in higher than consensus, "reflecting steady QCaaS service revenue results," he added.
Bookings stood at $18.3 million, "reflected inclusions of the company's first quantum annealing computer sale booked in the quarter," the analyst stated. "We are encouraged by the growing backlog and opportunity to diversify into hardware sales beyond core QCaaS quantum cloud services," he further wrote.

Benchmark On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60216a57879cba00010f246b/david-williams">Analyst David Williams</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $8.
D-Wave Quantum delivered "another quarter of strong results, demonstrating continued progress across its technology, financials, customer base, and business development initiatives," Williams said. We think the peer-reviewed publication of the company's quantum supremacy demonstration is a significant achievement and was the highlight since the company's last earnings release.
The company enjoyed momentum in hardware sales, with the first on-site Advantage system sale, the analyst stated. The launch of the next-generation Advantage 2 system, anticipated for later this year, is expected to "serve as a catalyst for additional sales opportunities," he wrote.
Needham On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e21cde3430dee0001c717dd/quinn-bolton">Analyst Quinn Bolton</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $8.50.
D-Wave Quantum "achieved quantum supremacy on a real world magnetic materials simulation problem, meaningfully strengthened its balance sheet," Bolton said. The company announced the sale of an Advantage system to the Julich Supercomputing Center in Germany, which is the first system sale in its history, he added.
While the system was booked in the fourth quarter, most of the revenue will be recognized in the first quarter of 2025, the analyst stated. "The company is engaged with three other institutions globally for quantum systems but does not expect additional system sales this year," he wrote.
QBTS Price Action: Shares of D-Wave Quantum had risen by 37.7% to $9.52 at the time of publication on Friday.

Gold hit a fresh record high on Thursday, with spot gold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44325928/gold-smashes-through-3000-mark-as-markets-brace-for-turbulence-and-fed-signals">crossing $3,000 per ounce</a>, up 1.8%. It has surged 13% in 2025, outperforming all major asset classes. On Friday, spot gold pared some of the gains and was trading at $2,982.73 as of 11:50 a.m. EST.
Needless to say, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">gold ETFs</a>, which offer investors exposure to gold without owning the metal, have gained from this rally. Some top-performing gold ETFs include:
SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): Tracks spot gold prices closely and has an expense ratio of 0.4%. It has risen 12% year-to-date, illustrating the strong demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): Follows the performance of the price of gold bullion. It carries an expense ratio of 0.25%. The ETF has climbed 12% YTD, closely mirroring gold's price action.
VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>): Focuses on gold mining stocks and carries an expense ratio of 0.5%. The ETF has gained 23.5% YTD, benefiting from rising gold prices and improved miner profitability.
VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>): Targets smaller, high-growth mining firms. The ETF has surged 22.8% YTD as speculative interest in smaller miners has picked up.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Surging Gold ETF Inflows</h1>
Investor interest in gold ETFs is on the rise. The World Gold Council <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-etfs-holdings-and-flows/2025/03">reported </a>recently that global physically-backed gold ETFs saw $9.4 billion in inflows in February, the highest since March 2022. This marks three consecutive months of strong inflows, pushing total assets under management (AUM) to $306 billion. Holdings have also risen to 3,353 tonnes, the highest since July 2023. 
North American flows rebounded after two months of outflows, while Asian demand remained strong and European inflows narrowed. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Gold Soaring?</h1>
Simply, economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks are driving gold's rally.
President Donald Trump's administration has reignited trade war fears by threatening tariffs. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44308014/gold-hits-record-highs-as-trade-war-fears-fuel-safe-haven-demand-mining-stocks-soar">Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow model projects</a> a 2.4% contraction for the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2025, and JPMorgan raised the probability of a recession to 40%.
A key unknown factor is also influencing gold prices. 
"A large and unknown player is driving gold's recent rally," said Ross Norman, CEO of Metals Daily Ltd., speculating that this could explain the unusual movements in gold prices.
Macquarie Group analysts are bullish, forecasting gold at $3,500 per ounce by the third quarter. "We view gold's price strength to date, and our expectation for it to continue, as primarily being driven by investors' and official institutions' greater willingness to pay for its lack of credit or counterparty risk," Macquarie wrote.
With trade tensions, recession fears and global uncertainty, demand for gold, and naturally, gold ETFs, is expected to stay strong. As price targets rise, investors seeking a hedge against volatility may find gold ETFs a compelling option.

Oppenheimer Maintains Outperform on Pharming, Raises Price Target to $39

J.P. Morgan analyst Bill Peterson shared key takeaways from the conference hosted for Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLUG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Neutral rating.</a>
The analyst writes that the discussions mainly centered on the demand outlook across its three key verticals, cost-saving initiatives, and the financial roadmap for the year.
Although not a central topic, there are signs of potential support from the new administration for Plug&#8217;s Texas DOE loan. Meanwhile, the timeline for the first loan disbursement, if approved, remains unclear, adds the analyst.
The analyst notes that Plug recently lowered its full-year revenue guidance to ~$700 million-$800 million from the previous $850 million-$950 million, citing macro headwinds and policy uncertainty.
Peterson expects Electrolyzers to be the top revenue driver in 2025, with growth weighted toward the second half due to commissioning timelines—potentially mirroring 2024&#8217;s ~60% growth, though he remain conservative.
Earlier this month, Plug Power disclosed that it expects Project Quantum Leap to reduce annual expenses in the range of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan" rel="noreferrer noopener">$150 million to $200 million</a>.
The analyst says that if the company&#8217;s plan works as expected, the fourth quarter could potentially be a strong breakeven quarter, driven by increased revenue and cost savings, though he still expects this to be much further in the future.
Yesterday, the company got a contract from Southwire, a North American manufacturer of wire and cable, to implement a clean hydrogen ecosystem at their new&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44303579/plug-power-to-power-southwires-texas-facility-with-hydrogen-forklifts-cutting-1m-pounds-of-co2-annually" rel="noreferrer noopener">distribution site in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas</a>.

Reported Thursday March 13, 2025: Kingstone Companies Q4 Adj EPS $0.46 Beats $0.42 Estimate, Sales $35.97M Up From $28.68M YoY

The Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin, associated with President Donald Trump, has plummeted 84% from its all-time high of $73.4, with its market cap shrinking from $14.5 billion to $2.3 billion, though it gained 13% in the last 24 hours <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trump-coin-price-prediction">to trade at $12.</a>
What Happened: Launched on the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) blockchain in January, just before Trump's presidential inauguration, the token initially soared alongside the MELANIA (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MELANIA</a>) meme coin, with their combined market value briefly surpassing that of Occidental Petroleum, a major oil producer valued at over $50 billion at the time.
Despite the recent daily uptick, the TRUMP coin's sharp decline reflects broader challenges for Trump-branded cryptocurrencies amid a volatile meme coin market.
The TRUMP coin's website notes, "Trump Memes are intended for collecting and entertainment purposes only. They are not financial instruments or investments." 
Its vesting schedule includes a 30-day lock period for the team, followed by phased token releases, a structure also used by the MELANIA coin.

The launch capitalized on Trump's growing crypto advocacy, following his November 2024 election win and an executive order earlier in March, establishing a strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve with seized assets, which initially spurred interest in related projects.
The Solana blockchain, known for its high-speed transactions and low fees, provided a scalable platform for the token's launch, but even this technical advantage has not shielded it from significant losses.
The decline follows a period of heightened attention on Trump family ventures in the crypto space. 
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by Trump and his sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron, raised $590 million through token sales by March 2025, including a $550 million public sale, as reported by ICO Drops. 
The WLFI project, launched in September 2024, saw a boost from the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins, which drove interest in its tokens despite initial lukewarm demand. 
Additionally, Tron (CRYPTO: TRON) founder Justin Sun invested $30 million in WLFI in November 2024, becoming an advisor, while Web3Port added $10 million in January 2025, reflecting institutional interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44327489/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-raises-590m-in-token-sales">Trump-related crypto initiatives. </a>
Despite this, the TRUMP meme coin's 95% value drop underscores the volatility of such assets, even amid a recovering meme coin market.
