Quantum Computing is emerging as an increasingly established technology, reminiscent of the early days of AI. The QTUM ETF has a 40% exposure to quantum computing while maintaining controlled, well-balanced exposure to info tech, with a majority in large and mid-caps (only 10% small caps). The results of QBTS, along with the outlook shared during the earnings call and at Qubits 2025, provide a concrete view of the growth potential in the quantum computing sector.
Defiance Quantum ETF is more of a diversified tech fund with a quantum flavor, featuring big tech stocks and some quantum companies. The fund's passive strategy follows the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index, rebalancing in June and December. Valuation metrics show a high weighted P/E ratio of 30, making it hard to justify a Buy due to the need for substantial earnings growth.
QTUM's holdings have shifted from pure-play quantum computing and AI/ML firms to diversified large-cap companies, diluting its original investment focus. I initially rated QTUM as a buy for aggressive investors, but now downgrade it to a hold due to these changes. The fund's new top holdings, like Alibaba and Orange, do not align with the quantum and AI/ML focus, creating a "drag."
