How to invest in quantum computing from Ireland

How do you catch the next big wave if you don’t speak “quantum”—and don’t plan to? Quantum computing is moving from labs into real-world pilots across drug discovery, finance, logistics, and cybersecurity. For investors, the payoff profile is asymmetric: modest capital can buy big optionality if fault-tolerant systems arrive on time. The risk is just as clear: long R&D cycles, technical bottlenecks, and profits that lag the hype. This article covers the full spectrum of quantum-related investments with practical notes for Irish investors.

What happened to Ørsted’s share price?

Ørsted A/S (ORSTED.CO), Denmark’s offshore wind powerhouse and a key player in Europe’s renewable ambitions, has endured a brutal 2025. Trading around 117 DKK as of 9 November, the stock has plunged 64% year-to-date and sits more than 80% below its 2021 peak. The collapse stems from the Trump administration’s clampdown on offshore wind in the U.S., where Ørsted had heavy exposure. Cancelled projects, regulatory delays, and write-downs have wiped billions off its books. To stabilise its finances, Ørsted raised 59.5 billion DKK (approx. €7.9 billion) in a deeply dilutive share issue and announced 2,000 job cuts. While the sale of half of its Hornsea 3 project brought in €5.5 billion, the company’s valuation remains stretched. For Ireland – which is ramping up its own offshore wind sector – Ørsted’s troubles are a cautionary tale about policy risk, financing strain, and the fragility of global green energy markets.

What happened with Atos stock?

Atos SE (ticker: ATO.PA), one of France’s leading digital transformation and IT firms, has seen its stock experience one of the most dramatic turnarounds in recent European market history. From losing over 98.5% of its value between 2021 and 2024 to staging a modest recovery in 2025, the company’s journey has been turbulent. Burdened by €4.8 billion in debt and weakened by failed acquisitions, Atos faced near-bankruptcy before government intervention and a sweeping restructuring effort. A 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split in April 2025 reset its capital structure and brought short-term technical stability. By November 2025, the stock had doubled year-to-date, though it remains highly volatile. Analysts are divided—some see lingering structural risk, while others believe Atos could be a deep-value recovery play. The company’s success now hinges on debt reduction, operational discipline, and renewed investor trust.

Michael Reeves goldfish: the full story

When the phrase “Michael Reeves goldfish” started spreading across YouTube, Twitter and finance memes, it sounded like a throwaway joke: a chaotic coder letting a tiny orange fish YOLO its way through the stock market. Look closer, though, and the stunt was more than a punchline. It blended live streaming culture, algorithmic trading, behavioural finance and dark tech humour into one experiment perfectly suited to an age where retail investors swap charts and memes in the same breath. This guide unpacks who Michael Reeves is, how the goldfish trading rig actually worked, what risks were real versus for show, and what thoughtful investors, creators and curious onlookers can learn from a fish that briefly became the internet’s most infamous “portfolio manager”.

What Happened to Thyssenkrupp’s Share Price?

Thyssenkrupp AG (TKA.DE) has had a blockbuster yet choppy 2025. Shares surged triple-digits year-to-date as investors front-ran the spin-off of its defence arm, TKMS, then slid when that pure-play listed and stole the limelight. As of 5 November 2025, the Xetra close sits at €9.26 (-1.57% on the day) with €5.765bn market capitalisation, 453,248 volume, +130.45% YTD and +187.38% over 12 months. Drivers? A blowout TKMS debut, a bruised steel unit navigating job cuts and high energy costs, and a parent morphing into a cash-rich holding with net financial assets around €4.3bn. Below, we map the price action, the catalyst timeline, why the volatility persists, and what could move the shares next—delivered in crisp, data-first British English with a dash of meme-trader realism.

Why Did Palantir’s Share Price Drop?

In Q3 2025, Palantir reported revenue of $1.181 billion (roughly €1.1 billion), up 63% year-on-year, beating analyst expectations of $1.09 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) hit $0.21 (+110% y/y), while GAAP profit soared 231% to $476 million (€440 million). Free cash flow climbed 46% to $540 million (€500 million). The company holds $6.4 billion (€5.9 billion) in cash and carries zero debt. U.S. commercial revenue jumped an impressive 121%. Palantir also raised guidance once again: Q4 revenue is forecast at $1.33 billion (vs. $1.19 billion expected), and full-year 2025 revenue between $4.396–$4.400 billion (+53%). Despite the stellar numbers, PLTR shares dropped 7.2% during Tuesday’s session, closing around $192 after dipping to $185 intraday. Year-to-date, the stock is still up 156%, with a market capitalisation around $450 billion (€415 billion). For Irish investors, it’s a timely reminder that even outstanding performance can’t always outshine high expectations.

What happened with Meta's Stock?

Meta Platforms Inc. (META), the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, posted robust Q3 2025 financials on October 29. Revenue came in at $51.24 billion, surpassing analyst expectations, and core earnings remained healthy despite a one-time $16 billion tax charge. But the following day, META shares nosedived by 11.33%, closing at $666.47—the sharpest single-day drop in three years, wiping out nearly $190 billion in market value. Investor concerns centered around Meta’s increased capital expenditure guidance, especially for its aggressive AI infrastructure investments. Management warned that 2026 spending would rise “significantly faster,” alarming investors who fear margin compression and slower returns on these investments. While user growth on Threads and ad revenue from AI-driven tools remain strong, the market punished the lack of immediate profitability. Analysts remain optimistic long-term, but the near-term outlook is clouded by uncertainty around monetization. The earnings dip offered a reminder: in today’s AI arms race, strong numbers aren’t always enough.
