So the market's been on a tear for over three years now—the S&P 500 is up nearly 94% since the bull run kicked off back in October 2022. Deutsche Bank's calling for 8,000 by year-end, and Goldman Sachs is looking for another 12% rally this year. If you've got around $1,000 sitting around after handling your essentials and debt, honestly, this could be a solid time to look at some of the upcoming stocks to invest in right now.

Let me walk you through three names that caught my attention. First up is something in the quantum computing space. I know it sounds futuristic and all, but McKinsey is projecting the quantum computing market could explode from $4 billion in 2024 to $72 billion by 2035. IonQ is building actual quantum computers and offering services through major cloud providers. The numbers are wild—their revenue more than doubled to $68 million in the first nine months of 2025, with Q3 jumping 222% year over year. They even hit a world record with 99.99% two-qubit gate performance, which basically means their systems are nearly error-free. The stock's pricey at 158 times sales and definitely volatile, but if you're thinking long-term, allocating a small chunk here could pay off big.

Now, here's where I think most of the money's flowing though. AI infrastructure is absolutely booming. Gartner's forecasting a 41% spike in AI infrastructure spending to $1.4 trillion in 2026. That's massive. Celestica is right in the middle of this—they're designing and manufacturing the networking components that go into AI chips from Broadcom, Marvell, AMD, and Intel. Their revenue jumped 27% to $12.2 billion in 2025, and the forecast shows acceleration ahead. Trading at just 3.2 times sales, this looks like a no-brainer for your upcoming investment opportunities.

Then there's Micron Technology. This one's actually cheap considering what it's doing. Trading under 10 times sales while clocking stunning growth—earnings could jump nearly 4x this fiscal year on the back of 100% sales growth. The thing is, memory chip demand for AI data centers is absolutely insane right now. Supply can't keep up, and even though chipmakers are building new capacity, it takes time. That shortage is likely sticking around through 2028, which means memory prices should stay elevated. Micron's already up 243% over the past year, but given the sustainable tailwinds and the valuation, there's still room to run.

Obviously, do your own research and make sure any of these fit your risk tolerance. But if you're looking at where to put capital in a market that's clearly got more room to go, these three represent different angles on some of the biggest tech trends happening right now.
