  • D-Wave Quantum stock eyes path to 2026 after 211% surge in 2025
    January 18, 2026, 3:32 AM EST. D-Wave Quantum surged in 2025, up about 211%, outpacing the S&P 500, Nasdaq and rival quantum plays. The gains reflect investor bets on quantum computing applications and AI demand across industries, even as the company remains unprofitable. D-Wave designs quantum computers that use annealing with superconducting qubits, aimed at optimization tasks in supply chains, scheduling and portfolio optimization. Valuation remains a question. At around $28 per share, some say the stock looks cheap, while others cite the need for tangible milestones and a high price-to-sales multiple. The 2026 path will hinge on adoption pace, profitability milestones, and competition in a field still early in its cycle. No official year-end target is provided; catalysts include customer wins, deployment scale and capital efficiency.
