It's time for some of today's trend tickers. We're looking at IBM, Meta, McDonald's. First, IBM says it is building the world's first large-scale fault-resistant quantum computer. It is housed in the company's New York data center and has 20,000 times the computing power of today's quantum computers. The computer, called Starling, is scheduled to be released by 2029. Next, create a meta, a new AI team. According to a report by Bloomberg, CEO Mark Zuckerberg brings together a team of experts to achieve artificial general information. This is internally called a super intelligence group. Zuckerberg reportedly aims to hire around 50 people for his new team. This includes a new director of AI research. And finally, McDonald's gets a double downgrade at Redburn Atlantic and cuts from buying to selling. Analysts also reduced their price target to 260 from 319, citing the threat of weight loss drugs. This was McDonald's third downgrade in the past few days, following cuts from Loop Capital and Morgan Stanley.
