D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) stock edges up as 10.4 million shares line up for resale after Quantum Circuits deal

New York, January 21, 2026, 10:35 EST — Regular session D-Wave Quantum’s stock inched higher Wednesday after wrapping up its acquisition of Quantum Circuits. The company filed paperwork revealing plans to resell shares tied to the transaction. Shares ticked up about 0.5%, hitting $27.17 during morning trading.

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 10:40 EST — Regular session Shares of AppLovin Corp fell 3.9% to $543.48 on Wednesday, deepening losses after a short seller report from CapitalWatch accused the company of money laundering connections and lax compliance controls.

London, 21 January 2026, 13:56 GMT Experian shares dropped to a 19-month low on Wednesday, tumbling as much as 7% in London trading.
