The Trust Layer for Market Analysts

The analysis focuses on two publicly traded companies, IBM and GlobalFoundries (GFS), in the quantum computing sector. IBM has received a significant government investment, including $1 billion from the CHIPS Act and a matching $1 billion from their financials, to develop a new division called "Andiron" focused on quantum chip manufacturing, specifically 300mm wafers. This indicates a shift from academic research to commercialization for quantum technology. IBM's legacy businesses are expected to support and fund this quantum initiative. GlobalFoundries (GFS) has also received substantial federal funding of $375 million to create a domestic multimodality supply chain for quantum manufacturing. GFS has experienced significant growth this year, with its stock up 145% year-to-date, largely driven by this announcement. The short interest on GFS is noted as being exceptionally low, suggesting a compelling growth story with limited bearish sentiment.
