International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM)’s shares have gained 9.7% year-to-date after they trimmed their gains in July after investors were disappointed by the firm’s software revenue.

He also believes that International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) enjoys a sizable lead in the quantum computing industry. During this episode, the firm crossed his mind as he wondered how long it might take for quantum computing’s commercialization:

“I think IBM may be very real and that stock has just taken a beating. So that’s what I’m focused on.”
