However, quantum computing is also a solution without a problem to solve, dramatically limiting its addressable market.

Admittedly, this goal is elusive, and even in the uncommon scenario of a stock being destined for gains of 100-fold or more, such a process typically takes decades. Nonetheless, some of today's largest stocks, such as Amazon and Netflix, were small-cap stocks at one time.
