D-Wave Earnings Looked Weak, But Investors May Be Missing This
Written by Nathan Reiff

Earnings season is a pivotal moment for many stocks, but particularly for firms in a fledgling industry like quantum computing. When major player IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) reported results for the first quarter of 2026 in early May, investors took note of promising revenue growth, a raise to full-year guidance relative to prior projections, and a strong showing in both partnerships and system sales. Still, a crucial piece of the puzzleâprofitabilityâremains missing.
Now, other big names in the pure-play quantum sphere are sharing their own results, including from firms like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS)and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI). D-Wave, known for its sizable cash holdings and recent purchase of Quantum Circuits Inc., stands out for its dual focus on two distinct technological approaches to quantum computing.
Like IonQ, the company noted several compelling developments in its Q1 2026 earnings, particularly in bookings, sales pipeline, and technological advances.
However, top- and bottom-line performance may have contributed to a post-earnings selloff that brought the share price down 7% on May 12, reversing the recent mini-rally initiated in April.
The Bright Spots in D-Wave’s Earnings: Bookings, Recurring Revenue, Sales Pipeline, and More
A number of highlights emerge from a closer look at D-Wave’s first quarter of the new year. Notably, quarterly bookings reached $33.4 million, a record for Q1 and a massive increase of about 2,000% year-over-year (YOY). This figure is impressive on its own, but one of the real strengths here is D-Wave’s major growth to its quantum-computing-as-a-service (QCaaS) business, which climbed by 15% YOY to $1.8 million in revenue. QCaaS positions D-Wave to be able to build recurring revenue into its stream, which could be crucial in its efforts to achieve sustainable profitability. A $10-million enterprise QCaaS agreement from Q1 was a major driving factor here.
The company’s sales pipeline is shining as well, with growth of more than 100% sequentially to Q1 2026. D-Wave sees system salesâthe lion’s share of its revenue so farâtotaling two or three per year going forward, with at least two projected for 2026. These big-ticket sales do not necessarily mean recurring revenue, but they vastly outsize other revenue streams for the firm at this point.
Technological advances are also crucial for any quantum computing company, and D-Wave highlighted some important ones for the first three months of the year. A standout achievement for the company is its roadmap to 100 logical qubits, a major technological breakthrough, which it believes can be achieved by 2032.
Finally, investors have been waiting for signs as to whether D-Wave has been able to maintain its historically strong cash position. With more than $588 million in cash and equivalents as of the end of the quarter, the company’s reserves remain healthy.
The Reason for the Share Price Decline
It’s difficult for D-Wave to avoid negative headlines for its top- and bottom-line performance in the quarter, despite all of the successes above. Notably, revenue of $2.9 million was down more than 80% YOY and came in about $1.3 million below analyst predictions. Though losses per share beat predictions by 3 cents, they nonetheless widened by 3 cents relative to the prior-year quarter.
A closer look may give long-term D-Wave investors some comfort. Part of the reason for the seemingly-massive revenue slippage is the fact that Q1 of last year saw the sale of a quantum annealing computer system for nearly $13 million. A single transaction can have a major impact on revenue performance, particularly when overall revenue is so low.
Still, that D-Wave is so susceptible to these significant shifts based on the timing of an individual system sale is a reflection of how reliant the company has been on these types of one-off deals. Investors will surely be happy to see the company move toward a more predictable, consistent revenue stream.
Investors in the quantum computing space will need to evaluate whether D-Wave is still a suitable target based on its performance relative to its peers (for one thing, Rigetti announced on the same day that its Q1 2026 revenue roughly tripled YOY to $4.4 million).
The path toward profitability may have become somewhat clearer based on QCaaS performance, but widening losses and the sizable gap between expected revenue and actual performance suggest that there may still be significant ground to cover.
D-Wave shares remain a Moderate Buy, with 14 out of 17 analysts bullish on the stock. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

Nebius Upside Expands as AI Feedback Loop Intensifies
Written by Thomas Hughes

Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) is another example of a company in an AI-driven feedback loop. The rapid rise of AI infrastructure enables AI model training, which in turn enables inference, outcomes, use cases and increased demand.
Because outcomes tend to be positive, the technology advances with each cycle, strengthening the trend in a potentially indefinite loop. Nebius is well-positioned to benefit, as it provides both the infrastructure for training and inference and tools to support its development.
Nebius’ position was reflected in its recent earnings results, released May 13. The company continues to invest, and, according to CEO Arkady Volozh, unprecedented demand exceeds capacity. This suggests that upcoming results will further sustain the trend of outperformance relative to market expectations, and strength will continue until sufficient capacity is built. Based on the demand trends seen across the AI stack, including GPUs, CPUs, memory, and nuts-and-bolts plays in connectivity and networking, that wonât happen for at least a few years.
Nebius Debt Is a Concern, Offset by Rapidly Expanding Leverage
Nebius’ growing debt is a concern, as it blossomed during Q1, but less so than it was just a quarter ago. The offsetting details include quarterly results showing top- and bottom-line outperformance in Q1 and highly visible evidence that the company can profit at scale. Revenue surged by nearly 700%, outpacing the consensus estimate by several hundred basis points, underpinned by hyperscaler demand.
The impact on margin was significant, with leverage evident across all metrics. Gross margin improved by 2,300 basis points (bps), compounded by high-double-digit declines in R&D, G&A, and expenses margins, which left the companyâs bottom line in much better shape than expected. The critical detail is that non-GAAP earnings per share of negative 23 cents outpaced the consensus by 58 cents, offering the market a pleasant surprise.
As concerning as Nebius’ rapid increase in debt may be, it is offset by balance sheet strength, cash flow, and a robust business pipeline. Balance sheet highlights include cash more than doubling, current and total assets rising, and equity increasing despite the increased debt. Debt leverage is also low, at less than 1X, given the more than $9 billion in cash, with the companyâs core business experiencing robust demand. The likely outcome is that Nebius will have little trouble servicing its load and paying it off over time.
Nebius can be expected to continue investing, as it plans to deploy up to $20 billion in AI-related capital expenditure (CapEx) this year alone, but its pipeline more than offsets the strength. Deals in Q1 increased the backlog by approximately 250% to 4GW of contracted capacity, underpinned by hyperscalers such as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), which is sufficient to more than double the companyâs current-year revenue outlook. Plans now include a new AI factory in Pennsylvania, adding up to 1.2GW of capacity to the rapidly expanding network.
Analysts in Catch-Up Mode, Underpinning NBIS Stock Price Action
The analyst trends are bullish for NBIS, and the company continues to fire on all cylinders, forcing them to respond. As it stands, the trends include increasing coverage, firming sentiment, a 73% Buy-side bias to the Moderate Buy rating, and an uptrend in the consensus price target.
The only bad news is that price action is outpacing the consensus, setting the stage for a potential price correction. However, given the current trends, price corrections are likely to be buying opportunities, and institutions will be among the buyers.
MarketBeat data reveals institutional ownership at 20% and growing. The group has accumulated on balance every quarter since the IPO, ramping activity sequentially into Q1 2026, and sustaining the bullish tilt in early Q2. The Q1 earnings release provided no reasons to sell, only reasons to hold and build on positions over time.
Nebius stock price action is bullish, reflecting a strengthening market with potential to continue accelerating. Signs of strength include the sequentially larger candles formed in late April and early May, as well as the convergence of MACD.
It shows market momentum is building to record highs and indicates a high probability that higher prices will be set. Technical risks include the stochastic indicator, which signals overbought conditions, but it can remain within its range for weeks and months during bull-market rallies.

Catalysts include backing from NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA). NVIDIA pledged $2 billion in funding to assist the data center buildout, promising early and sufficient access to next-generation chips. The deal affirms Nebius’ critical role in the AI infrastructure industry and derisks its outlook. Other catalysts include the companyâs operations, which enable cost efficiency, superior performance, and reduced power consumption. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

Plug Power Flips The Switch On Profitability
Written by Jeffrey Neal Johnson

A dramatic operational recovery is creating a powerful new narrative in the hydrogen sector. Shares of Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) jumped following its first-quarter earnings report, which signaled a decisive inflection point in its path to profitability.
A 22% year-over-year revenue expansion and significantly narrower losses provided the fundamental firepower, but it was the underlying strategic execution that demanded investor attention. By aggressively expanding margins and fortifying its balance sheet, Plug Power is building a sustainable growth model. This turnaround is not only validating a bullish long-term outlook but also creating immense pressure on the over 24% of the float currently held short.
From Burning Cash to Building a Profit Engine
For quarters, Plug Power’s primary headwind has been severe margin compression, but the latest earnings data shows a sharp reversal of this trend. Gross margin improved by 42 percentage points, moving from a deeply negative 55% in the prior-year quarter to a much more manageable negative 13%.
This change was not an accounting trick but the result of tangible cost-down initiatives. The Project Quantum Leap strategy, first unveiled in 2025, is now bearing fruit, evidenced by a year-over-year reduction of more than 30% in GenDrive per-unit service costs.
Simultaneously, fuel margin rates improved by 54 percentage points, driven by better leverage across the Plug Power hydrogen network and more favorable third-party sourcing contracts. This operational tightening is the core catalyst validating the bullish reversal thesis.
While the headline GAAP earnings per share figure was a loss of 18 cents, this figure includes approximately $140 million in non-cash charges, primarily related to convertible debt and warrant valuations. When these non-operational, market-driven adjustments are excluded, Plug Power’s adjusted EPS stands at a loss of only 8 cents. This figure not only beat analyst expectations of a 9-cent loss but also paints a clearer picture of a business making substantial progress in its underlying economics. The performance reinforces management’s guidance of achieving a positive run rate for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by the fourth quarter of 2026.
Funding the Future Without the Dilution Drain
A key concern that has weighed on investors has been Plug Power’s historic cash burn. Management is addressing this head-on with a multi-pronged strategy focused on non-dilutive capital generation, aiming to fund operations through to its positive EBITDA target without harming shareholder value. An expected $275 million is anticipated from hydrogen project asset monetizations, including a key deal with Stream Data Centers. The first transaction from this program, valued at approximately $142 million, is expected to close in June 2026.
In a more immediate cash injection, Plug Power is finalizing the sale of a Section 48 Investment Tax Credit from its St. Gabriel, Louisiana joint venture. This is projected to deliver $39.2 million in proceeds by the end of May 2026, providing a timely liquidity buffer.
Beyond asset sales, Plug Power is targeting internal efficiencies. Management has laid out a plan to reduce elevated inventory levels by at least $100 million in the second half of the year. Successfully executing this supply chain normalization represents another critical, non-dilutive source of capital to fund its growth objectives and further insulate its balance sheet.
Gridlock Is Creating a Green Light
While near-term catalysts are focused on margins and liquidity, a powerful long-term energy narrative is solidifying the business case for hydrogen infrastructure. A growing challenge for large-scale industrial and logistics operations is the strain on local utility grids, exacerbated by the power demands of data centers and widespread electrification.
This problem has created a compelling new value proposition for Plug Power’s on-site solutions. Enterprise clients such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) are increasingly leveraging GenDrive and GenFuel systems as behind-the-meter power sources. This strategy allows a facility to offload roughly 2 MW of electricity demand from the grid, a significant advantage where utility power is constrained, expensive, or unreliable. This pivot from a simple productivity tool to a mission-critical energy solution represents a massive addressable market.
Disruptions in global energy markets have also renewed interest in energy security and synthetic fuels. This has been a notable tailwind for Plug Power’s electrolyzer business, which saw revenues climb 343% year over year.
While international projects can face regulatory delays, Plug Power is mitigating this risk by diversifying its pipeline and advancing key North American contracts, like the 275 MW engineering design award in Quebec, which fall under a more predictable permitting framework. This domestic focus, combined with the clear demand from enterprise customers for grid independence, provides a stable, growing revenue base to complement the more complex international opportunities.
The High-Voltage Case for Plug Power
The combination of a fundamental business turnaround and a powerful new energy narrative has created a compelling setup for Plug Power. The bull case rests on the continued recovery of margins and on Plug Power’s strategic positioning as a key solution to the modern energy crisis.
As more enterprises face grid-related growth constraints, the demand for behind-the-meter solutions is poised to accelerate, providing a durable tailwind. This robust strategic positioning is what makes the large short interest a secondary, albeit potentially explosive, factor. Each milestone achieved in the turnaround plan makes a bearish thesis less tenable.
The primary risk remains execution, though Plug Power has laid out a clear, multi-faceted plan to manage its cash flow and fund its path to profitability. Should there be any stumbles in the asset monetization timeline, Plugs’ aggressive inventory reduction and the imminent tax credit cash infusion provide significant operational buffers.
For investors, the focus should be on the execution of this strategy. The dramatic improvement in gross margins appears to be the definitive inflection point, suggesting that Plug Power is successfully navigating its transition from a high-growth, cash-burning innovator to a sustainable and profitable energy-tech leader.

Dear Friend,
Be still and know God invites surrender, not striving harder. In stillness, we lay down control and discover His power, presence, and peace working in us.
Moses: Victory Through Stillness (Exodus 14:14)
At the Red Sea, Israel panicked as Pharaohâs army closed in. Moses listened to God. Deliverance came not by human strength, but by trust. The sea parted when they stood still and obeyed.
David: Waiting Before the Crown (Psalm 27:14)
David was anointed king but waited years in trials and uncertainty. Though tempted to seize the throne, he trusted Godâs timing. His greatness was restraint, not ambition. The crown came in Godâs time, without regret, as Godâs doing, not his own.
Joseph: Trusting God in the Silence(Genesis 50:20)
Betrayed, enslaved, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Joseph waited in silence. Yet he stayed faithful, trusting God was at work. In time, God raised him from prison to the palace, using his long waiting to save a nation and fulfill His purpose.
Jehoshaphat: Surrender Before the Battle(2 Chronicles 20:12)
When King Jehoshaphat faced a great enemy, he prayed and trusted in God rather than rushing into battle. As the people worshiped, God fought for them. Victory came not through strength, but surrender. Sometimes the most powerful step forward is stillness before God.
A Special May Invitation: Be Still and Know Bundle
Stillness is hard, yet God invites us to trust Him. As we slow down, we see His work. This Motherâs Day, we honored women who nurture us and remember to rest in His presence.
At Hour of Power, we share the strength God provides through our outreachâpartner with us by requesting the Be Still and Know Mug. Each sip is a gentle reminder of Psalm 46:10, perfect for moments of prayer, reflection, or quiet devotion.
God loves you and so do I,

The Fed Is About to Change Everything. Are You Ready?


Eric Fry
Editor, Smart Money
DAILY ISSUE
The Fed Is About to Change Everything. Are You Ready?
Editorâs Note: For nearly 50 years, Louis Navellier has studied Federal Reserve cycles and the way they reshape leadership in the stock market. Over that time, heâs developed a reputation for identifying major trends early â especially in smaller, fast-growing companies that tend to benefit most when monetary conditions begin to loosen.
Right now, Louis believes Wall Street may be underestimating whatâs developing behind the scenes at the Fed.
Iâve invited him here today to explain why two men connected to one of the most famous trades in financial history â the 1992 collapse of the British pound â may soon play a major role in shaping the next phase of U.S. monetary policy. Louis also explains why he believes this shift could create a rare opportunity in small-cap stocks, and why heâs preparing to discuss it in much greater detail in just a few hours during his free event, where heâll also share one stock recommendation with attendees.
This is your last chance to sign up. You can do so by clicking here.
Hereâs LouisâŚ
On September 16, 1992, the British government was fighting for its financial life.
For months, currency traders had been circling the British pound. The pound was pegged to European currencies at a rate most believed was indefensible. The U.K. economy was weakening. Inflation was high due to economic growth in Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The math didn’t work. And one man â George Soros â decided to bet on it.
What followed was one of the most spectacular days in the history of global finance.
Soros shorted $10 billion worth of the British pound.
The Bank of England fought back by buying pounds by the billions. It raised interest rates twice â from 10% to 12%, then to 15% â in a single day in a desperate attempt to defend the currency.
But it didnât work. By the evening, it was over.
The British government surrendered. It unpegged the pound from Europe and later began a series of cuts, bringing its interest rate down to 6% by early 1993, leading to an economic recovery.
As for Soros, he made more than a billion dollars in a single day. The date went down in history as Black Wednesday.
Iâm sure a lot of you folks know that story. But I bet not all of you know who else was in the room.
You see, two of the men connected to that trade are about to be in charge of American monetary and fiscal policy simultaneously. And I don’t think most investors have connected those dots yet.
Iâm talking about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Kevin Warsh, the incoming Federal Reserve Chair.
I’ve been at this for nearly five decades. I’ve seen every market cycle and every Fed regime come and go. And I want to tell you directly: I think this combination is very good news for your portfolio.
In this piece, I’ll explain the connection between Bessent and Warsh â and why I think itâs good news for investors. Iâll also give you my prediction for the Fedâs next move and how to be positioned before everyone else catches on.
I’ll also be going deeper at my Fed Shockevent later today at 1 p.m. Eastern, where I’ll share my highest-conviction picks and a free stock recommendation just for attending. (Itâs only a few hours away. Click here to reserve your spot now.)

Watch Your Mailbox for Elonâs Weird Package
Look out for a package from Bastrop, Texas. It could arrive any day â and itâs from Elon Musk. Itâs part of a project heâs waited 27 years to launch, which could be 15 times bigger than SpaceX, Tesla and xAI combined. And itâs going live right now.
What the Market Is Missing
Our Treasury Secretary â Scott Bessent â was part of the team that pulled off the Bank of England trade for Soros.
Kevin Warsh comes from the same world. After leaving the Fed in 2011, he went to work with Stanley Druckenmiller, the trader who actually executed the Black Wednesday trade. Druckenmiller and Bessent have remained close ever since.
These two men know each other, they trust each other, and they are operating from a shared playbook. And that playbook calls for lower rates.
Warsh has been a big critic of the Fed for years. He doesn’t like quantitative easing â the money printing that has ballooned the Fed’s balance sheet to nearly $7 trillion. But he also believes AI-driven productivity gains are fundamentally deflationary (meaning theyâll lower prices).
Bessent, meanwhile, is one of the most capable economic minds in Washington. He has publicly called for 150 basis points in reductions â that’s 1.5% â and he is fully aware of the mounting debt burden the country carries.
I believe he and Warsh are going to work together, and I believe they are going to move faster than the market expects.
How We Can Profit From the New Fed Regime
I’ve seen this movie before. Four times, to be precise.
Every time the Fed opens a sustained rate-cut cycle, the same dynamic plays out: smaller, domestically focused companies â the ones most sensitive to borrowing costs and most leveraged to U.S. economic growth â become the biggest winners. Not immediately. But consistently, and dramatically.
Here’s what happened the last four times:
- 1995 Fed pivot:Â Cisco +2,062%. Ascend +2,800%. AOL +2,900%.
- 2001 rate cuts:Â Frontline +1,513%. Hansen Natural +1,125%.
- 2008 rate cuts:Â Lithia Motors +475%. IPG Photonics +665%.
- 2020 COVID cuts:Â MARA Holdings +1,800%. Moderna +1,200%.
Different stocks. Different sectors. Same dynamic every time.
Now, I’m not naive about what we’re dealing with. There’s a war on. Inflation is still a factor. The Fed moves more slowly than anyone wants, and Warsh will need to build consensus on a 12-person committee.
This isn’t going to happen overnight.
But the direction is clear. The players are in place. And history says this is how it plays out.
The Exclusion List
My Stock Grader system has already been running throughout this early phase of the cutting cycle â and it has flagged 53 stocks showing the same early signals I’ve described in every prior window.
Strong fundamentals. Building institutional buying pressure. Consistent top rankings in my eight-factor model month after month.
I call it the Exclusion List. These are stocks that are too small for the big Wall Street funds to touch â but not too small for you.
Today at 1 p.m. Eastern, I’m going live to share my highest-conviction picks from that list. The are the names I believe are best positioned for what’s coming. I’ll also give away a free stock recommendation just for attending.

Hobbo Returns! David Hobbs Joins Historic Festival
â
David Hobbs Returns to HF44 as a Special Guest
Legendary storyteller. International racing star. And still one of the funniest men ever to climb out of a race car.
David Hobbs raced everything â Trans-Am, Formula One, sports cars, touring cars, Indy cars, IMSA, NASCAR, and Can-Am. He competed in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500, raced in the 24 Hours of Daytona, and made twenty starts at the 24 Hours of Le Mans during one of the most dangerous and exciting eras in motorsport history.
This Labor Day Weekend, one of racingâs most beloved personalities returns to
Lime Rock Park as a Special Guest of Historic Festival 44 â and if youâve ever heard âHobboâ tell a story, you already know this is going to be fun.
âMy first trip to Lime Rock,â Hobbs recalls, âwas in 1969⌠I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the area, the adulation of a local driver, Sam something, and the fantastic, very challenging track.â
That âSam something,â of course, was Sam Posey.
Hobbs quickly became part of Lime Rock lore himself â winning at the circuit and setting a track record that stood for years. But for many fans, the stories became just as legendary as the driving.
ďťżAt HF44. Hobbo returns to the place he still speaks about with genuine affection.ďťż
ďťż
âLime Rock to me epitomizes the birth of American road racing. The track just carved through the local terrain â a true racerâs layout. I always relish my visits.â
His first Trans-Am race came in 1969 at Riverside, lining up against names that still echo through American road racing history â Mark Donohue, Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, Peter Revson, Swede Savage, George Follmer, and Sam Posey. Many of the very same cars from that era will return to Lime Rock this year as Historic Trans-Am joins HF44.
Then came 1983.
âMy first Trans-Am season with DeAtley Motorsports came out of the blue,â Hobbs says, âbut it worked out rather well.â
Thatâs one way to put it.
The phone call from team manager John Dick became classic Hobbo material almost immediately.
âJohn Dick here,â the caller said. âWeâre going to run a Trans-Am team next year with Chevrolet Camaros, Budweiser money, and intend to win a championship. Itâs going to be a fully funded team, and we would like you to drive one of the cars.â
Hobbs replied, âOK, sure.â
And he went on, âThe Dickey brothers are going to be the mechanics.â
âUh huh. And your name is?â
âJohn Dick.â
Hobbs replied: âSounds to me like thereâs an awful lot of dick in this team.â
Driving alongside Willy T. Ribbs, Hobbs captured four victories and the 1983 Trans-Am title â a defining season in a remarkable international racing career.
David Hobbs will be at Historic Festival 44 all weekend long, meeting fans, signing autographs, and sharing stories from one of the great careers â and personalities â in motorsport history.Read about Hobboâs 1983 Trans Am Championship season on our website

â
Jocko Maggiacomo Named Special Guest at HF44
Chauncey âJockoâ Maggiacomo will return to Lime Rock Park for Historic Festival 44 as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of his 1976 SCCA Trans-Am Championship season.
For fans of American road racing, Jockoâs story feels deeply connected to
Lime Rock itself.
The Poughkeepsie native followed in the footsteps of his father,
Chauncey “Jocko” Maggiacomo Sr., who raced everything from motorcycles and midgets to modifieds and late models before earning induction into the
New England Auto Racers Hall of Fame in 2000. But while his father made his name on oval tracks, Jocko gravitated toward road racing and quickly became one of the standout independent drivers of Trans-Amâs golden era.
Driving a dark blue AMC Javelin originally built by Roger Penske for
Mark Donohue, Maggiacomo opened the 1976 season with a victory at Pocono, added another win at Road America, and led the points throughout the season on his way to capturing the TA I championship for production and sedan-based cars. By seasonâs end, he finished third overall in the standings behind only George Follmer and Hurley Haywood in their new turbocharged Porsches.
âTrans-Am was the closest thing between road racing and stock cars,â Maggiacomo recalled in an interview with The Schenectady Gazette. âI had always gotten a kick out of watching Mark Donohue, Parnelli Jones, and Dan Gurney run bumper-to-bumper in Trans-Am cars, and I got hooked on it.â
Driving a Chevy Camaro, Maggiacomo won the first-ever IMSA race held at Lime Rock Park in the TO class. During Penske Racingâs successful Trans-Am years, he spent countless hours testing his AMC Javelin at Lime Rock for Mark Donohue.
âAt one point, Mark told me, âYouâve got to come out to TRA-CO in Culver City, to test engines,â remembered Maggiacomo. âI told him, âMark, Iâve got a family, a shop to run, and staff back in Poughkeepsie.â Mark looked at me and said, âJocko, cubic horsepower generates cubic dollars.â That line stuck with me.â
Years later, when Maggiacomo transitioned into NASCAR competition with the AMC Matador, TRA-CO supplied the engines.
âI spent a lot of time at Lime Rock, going back to when I was a child,â he said. âMy dad won the Little Le Mans race in a Studebaker Lark, and I was there for that win. I even rode the victory lap holding the checkered flag!”
Jocko Maggiacomo
That 1960 Little Le Mans victory became part of Lime Rock lore. Jocko Maggiacomo Sr. co-drove a Studebaker Lark with legendary Holman & Moody co-founder Ralph Moody, guiding the unlikely American sedan to victory in the eight-hour endurance race against European favorites including Abarths, Saabs, and Volvos.
For a young Jocko, the memory never left him. âIâd love to drive one of those Historic Trans-Am cars at Historic Festival 44!â

đ§¨New Fed Sheriff Rides into Town

May 13, 2026
đ§¨New Fed Sheriff Rides into Town⌠Microsoft Misses the âMag 7â Yacht Party (+$500B Session)

âYou hear that? Thatâs the sound of cheap money ridinâ into town.â -newly elected Sheriff Kevin Warsh
Well folks, today is your lucky day. After an 8-year run filled with endless word salads, emergency money-printing, and a zero-interest-rate COVID environment that accidentally created the greatest casino in stock market history⌠Jerome Powell is officially hanging it up on Friday.
And in his place? Trumpâs minion (read: Kevin Warsh) is inheriting arguably the most influential job on planet Earth. (âI used to pray for times like this.â)
The Senate voted 54-45 to confirm Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chairman, and funny enough, Pennsylvaniaâs human hoodie John Fetterman was the only Democrat who crossed party lines to vote yes. (I knew I always liked that guy for some reason, just couldnât figure out why).
That said, yesterdayâs hotter-than-expected inflation report still managed to smack parts of the market around like a substitute teacher trying to control a middle school classroom.
The Dow slipped 0.2% as household-name companies like Nike and Home Depot got kicked directly into the clearance aisle. But while old-economy stocks were busy crying into their dividend yields, the money simply rotated right back into Big Tech like always.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.7%, while the Nasdaq ripped 1.3% after Donnieâs little bachelor trip to China with all his billionaire tech bros gave investors hope that Jensen Huang (read: Nvidia) may once again be allowed to sell the âgood stuffâ to Xi Jinping.
ANd get this, the Mag 7 stocks added half a TRILLION dollars in market cap today with Google seeing itâs best record since April, Nvidia up 6 sessions in a row and hitting an all time high⌠and even with Tim Apple gone, the iPhone maker was able to cross $300 for the first time ever.
In addition, Tesla, Meta, and Amazon are living it up. The only one who sh*t the bed, was Microsoft which loss $26 billion and had its 4th straight losing session.
So instead of just buying the S&P, maybe itâs time we start just telling folks to split their portfolio 7 ways into the Mag 7 stocks. (This is just a joke). But itâs worth mentioning, with all the bubble talk, do we really think thatâs bursting anytime soon now that Kev is getting handed the keys? My money is on no. But weâve never seen the market go up like this for this long.

Drown Bad: Waymo Recalls 3,800 Robotaxis After Multiple Cars Cruised Into Flash Floods
“Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” – Doc Brown Waymo
Of all the rules a self-driving fleet could break, Waymo’s billion-dollar AV unit found the one printed on every Texas highway billboard during flash flood season. Three thousand eight hundred robotaxis are now under voluntary recall because the software couldn’t reliably tell the difference between a road and a creek.
The recall, filed Tuesday with the NHTSA, covers vehicles running Waymo’s fifth and sixth-generation automated driving systems. Which⌠checks notes… is basically the whole commercial fleet. The trigger though, is the cameras in Austin, San Antonio, and elsewhere catching Waymos either nosing into flooded streets, stalling mid-storm, or, in one San Antonio case on April 20, getting straight-up swept into a creek with no passengers on board.
That said, this isnât a one-off for Waymo. Googleâs side-piece has been catching safety-flag strays at the same time itâs been aggressively expanding into Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami, and Austin, with select access in a few more markets. Austin alone has produced the school-bus-yielding controversy and now the flood-canon footage. In December, the SF fleet famously gridlocked an entire neighborhood during a power outage by stopping in place mid-intersection. Different bug, same underlying problem: the cars handle 99% of driving and then catastrophically misread the 1% any teenager could parse.
Of course, Waymo has “identified an areaâŚ
SoftBank’s $46 Billion Vision Fund Gain Was 99% OpenAI, and Masa Son Is Selling Nvidia to Press
Diversification is for poors. Citation: Masayoshi Son.
If your $46 billion annual gain comes from one position, you don’t have a Vision Fund. You have an OpenAI fund with extra steps.
That’s the awkward asterisk on SoftBank’s earnings drop this week. All-In Masa (read: Masayoshi Son), the man who has lost more money on bad ideas than Zuck (sup, Reality Labs), just booked a $46 billion yearly gain at his Vision Fund. And basically all of it is OpenAI. The fund’s $30B-and-counting stake in Sam Altman’s chatbot empire generated $45 billion in paper gains this year alone. The other 300+ portfolio companies? Bleeding.
Weâre talking companies like Coupang, DiDi Global, and Klarna⌠to which the Vision Fund is literally losing money on the parts that aren’t OpenAI. In Q4, $20 billion of the gain came from OpenAI while the rest of the book was getting its cheeks clapped. Translation: Masa accidentally built a single-stock ETF and called it venture capital.
To his credit (and to S&P’s horror), he’s leaning IN. SoftBank has committedâŚ
