[Featured Stock] Quantum Computer Stocks Plummet on a Single Word from Jensen Huang

Quantum computer-related stocks, which showed strong performance earlier this year, are plummeting all at once. This appears to be influenced by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's forecast that it will take 20 years before a useful quantum computer is developed.

At 9:27 a.m. on the 9th, XGate was trading at 7,720 won, down 20.4% from the previous day. KCS, Lanix, and ICTK are also experiencing sharp declines.

While visiting Las Vegas, where the world's largest home appliance and IT exhibition 'CES 2025' is being held, CEO Huang said, "If it takes 15 years for a very useful quantum computer to emerge, that would be considered very early." He added, "If it takes about 20 years, I believe many people will accept that." Following his statement that the emergence of quantum computers will take about 20 years, quantum computer-related stocks such as IonQ and Rigetti fell more than 40% in the New York stock market overnight.
