December inflation, bank earnings, SEC sues Elon Musk: 3 Things

The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading saw prices rise by 0.4% monthly and 2.9% annually in December, the inflation data in line with economist expectations. Core CPI — which excludes trends in food and energy costs — rose by 0.2% month-over-month and 3.2% year-over-year, both data sets below forecasts. Major banks JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Goldman Sachs (GS) have all reported their first quarter earnings results, all of their respective shares rising in pre-market trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sued billionaire Elon Musk, claiming he misled shareholders and failed to timely disclose his Twitter — now known as X — share purchases while he grew his stake in the company. Watch Yahoo Finance's full interview with outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here.

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.

Quantum computing applications are 'real today': D-Wave CEO

It's been a tumultuous week for quantum computing companies, to say the least, with several stocks in the landscape — Quantum Computing (QUBT), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), IonQ (IONQ) — selling off following comments made by Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang and Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Both tech executives share the sentiment that practical applications of quantum computing are years, if not decades, away from practical applications. Major quantum computing stocks are now soaring back to life in Tuesday's session. D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz sits down with the Morning Brief team to explain why quantum compute capabilities are "real today" and the company's investments in building out its infrastructure. "We have customers that are using our quantum computers today in support of their business operations, and we have demonstrated the ability to solve important problems in the area of material simulation on our quantum computers today in minutes," he tells Seana Smith and Brad Smith, "that it would take well over millions of years to solve on classical computers, including massively parallel GPU systems like what Nvidia builds."

Eli Lilly misses 2024 revenue numbers, but GLP-1 pill may help

Global pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly's (LLY) preliminary 2024 revenue missed expectations on lower-than-expected sales of its weight loss and diabetes shots. According to the company, sales are expected to hit $45 billion, below analysts' estimated $45.5 billion. Jared Holz, Mizuho's healthcare equity strategist, joins Morning Brief to share his insights, suggesting the market may be overreacting. Regarding Eli Lilly’s position in the pipeline for its next blockbuster drug, Holz notes that "they don't really have an obvious patent situation" like other companies in the pharmaceutical sector. Holz also highlights that Eli Lilly's pipeline, especially in GLP-1 treatments, remains promising for long-term growth. "The GLP-1 class is the most important category by far, and they're going to have oral data for a pill, I think, sometime in the first half of this year [toward] the spring, summer timeframe," he explains. "That could serve as a big catalyst for the stock." To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. This post was written by Josh Lynch

Core CPI Inflation Eases; S&P 500 Futures Jump, Fed Rate-Cut Hopes Rise (Live Coverage)

Consumer price index data for December showed that core price pressures eased more than expected. S&P 500 futures rose as Wall Street weighed the CPI's implications for Federal Reserve policy as well as positive earnings reports from Dow Jones giants JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. Stubbornly high inflation presents a problem for the Federal Reserve and the S&P 500 as President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office, because his policies are seen as likely to contribute to higher prices this year.
