How the LA wildfires may hit Big Bank earnings in 2025

Howard Capital Management CEO and CIO Vance Howard joins Wealth host Brad Smith to discuss his earnings outlook amid the Los Angeles wildfires. Howard warns that the Southern California fires could trigger bank defaults, potentially impacting earnings. "I don't think people have calculated that in yet because it just happened over the past three or four or five days," he explains. He advocates "patience" with bank stocks, noting that if defaults increase, earnings could be affected through the third and fourth quarters. With nearly 12,000 homes lost in Los Angeles, Howard predicts some homeowners may walk away from their mortgage obligations. "That's something to think about," he comments. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) touted record annual profits of $58 billion for 2024 in its latest earnings results. Looking beyond the banking sector, Howard identifies Salesforce (CRM) as a potential outperformer for 2025.

Rigetti Computing CEO on hype after his stock explodes 48%

How do you know as an investor that you are witnessing a borderline bubble in a stock? When a company (or companies) that has made no money ever is trading like it makes lots of money today will make even more money in the future. Welcome to the vibe continuing to surround quantum computing stocks such as D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI). Both of these stocks have been on mind-blowing runs the past three months in part because of enthusiasm for AI and a super-hyped new quantum chip from Google called Willow. The quantum space has also seen considerable investor interest on the Yahoo Finance platform, with the community consuming everything they could on the companies and the sector.  So, have investors become too optimistic about quantum computing stocks? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi goes right to the source, talking at length with Rigetti Computing CEO Subodh Kulkarni. Rigetti’s stock has exploded more than 500% in the past six months, bringing it to an eye-watering $2 billion market cap. Interestingly, Rigetti has never turned a profit and has told investors it won’t be making profits anytime soon. In fact, it may have to raise more capital to fund its ambitions in quantum chips. Sozzi serves up a classic investor guide to one of the market’s hottest stocks out of the gate in 2025.
