“Stock Guru” Trump fires up again: predicts IBM will rise in December, and in May the government will invest $1 billion to help the stock price soar

Abstract generation in progress

Mars Finance News, May 31 — Today, a video clip filmed in December of last year showing Trump praising IBM CEO Arvind Krishna at a White House roundtable has gone viral again. In the video, Trump states that IBM's stock price has risen from a low point to a good level and predicts "it will go even higher."

The reason for the heated discussion is that on May 21, IBM received a $1 billion quantum chip factory funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce through the CHIPS Act. As a result of this positive news, IBM's stock price has risen for a consecutive week, with an increase of about 17.7%, approaching its historical high.

Notably, Trump not only verbally praised IBM but also quietly bought a small amount of IBM stock. Recently, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Form 278-T financial disclosure document (Q1 2026 trading report) showed that Trump’s trust purchased IBM stock on March 21, though the amount was not large, in the range of $15,001 to $50,000.

Arvind Krishna probably woke up laughing, free advertising at the White House

The Ministry of Commerce has $1 billion, while the Trump family has $50,000—this leverage ratio truly impresses me.

Still willing to chase near the historical high? The old hands are already starting to get scared.

The popularity of the video is because of the stock price increase, not because of quantum technology; those who understand, understand.

Does this count as insider trading? If so, please say more.

The stock price increased by 17% in one week, and my holdings decreased by 17% in one week. We both have a bright future.

Quantum chips are still far from commercial use, but the story is already worth this much.

The money from the CHIPS Act hasn't arrived yet, but the stock price has already soared 17%. The market really knows how to play.
