D-Wave Quantum Stock Jumps as Mizuho Target Hike Revives QBTS Rally

D-Wave Quantum Stock Jumps as Mizuho Target Hike Revives QBTS Rally

D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares moved sharply higher after Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh raised the firm’s price target on QBTS to $35 from $29 and kept an Outperform rating on the stock. The latest available quote showed D-Wave at $26.26, giving the company a market value of about $9.65 billion. Investopedia reported that the rally also lifted other quantum names, including Quantum Computing Inc., Rigetti Computing and IonQ, showing that investors treated the call as a sector signal rather than a D-Wave-only event. The stock rose because the new target reinforced the market’s belief that D-Wave can be more than a quantum annealing company. Quantum annealing is a computing approach often used for optimization problems, while gate-model quantum computing is the broader circuit-style approach pursued by many industry rivals. D-Wave’s June 1 roadmap targets 100 logical qubits by 2032; logical qubits are error-corrected qubits designed to be more reliable than raw physical qubits. Chief Executive Dr. Alan Baratz said, “The industry has spent years talking about fault tolerance. We believe D-Wave has a highly differentiated and credible path to achieving it.”

Mizuho Lifts D-Wave Quantum Target with QBTS Shares Higher, Still Cites Valuation Risks

Mizuho Lifts D-Wave Quantum Target with QBTS Shares Higher, Still Cites Valuation Risks

D-Wave Quantum Inc. traded higher Monday after Mizuho raised its price target to $35 from $29 and maintained its Outperform rating. The new price target followed D-Wave’s first Analyst Day, where executives unveiled an updated gate-model roadmap. The company’s goal is 10 logical qubits by 2030 and 100 by 2032. Logical qubits are intended to offer more reliability than raw qubits. D-Wave stock finished at $26.71, up $3.34 from the last close. Shares swung from $24.50 to $27.14 during the session. Volume topped 35 million shares. Market cap sat around $9.8 billion. The company is still posting losses, with EPS near -$1.14. That setup has the stock surging on growth optimism but selling off hard when investors worry over revenue, profits, cash burn, dilution, or timing issues.

D-Wave Tumbles 50%: QBTS Investors Confront Valuation

D-Wave Quantum is trading at about half its 52-week high, with investors showing new caution on early-stage quantum stocks with large deals but limited revenue.

D-Wave Quantum Drops Almost 9% As QBTS Grabs Attention Again

D-Wave Quantum Drops Almost 9% As QBTS Grabs Attention Again

D-Wave Quantum dropped 8.94% Tuesday to finish at $23.52. Shares moved between $22.35 and $26.66 during the session. The slide came as tech stocks with speculation risk were hit, and other quantum stocks fell too. D-Wave settled at $23.40 in after-hours trade, little changed from the close. D-Wave’s slide caught attention, with investors used to trading the quantum stock on hopes for future government deals and tech progress, not just revenue numbers. Tuesday’s session dented that longer-term focus as the Nasdaq dropped 0.97% and the S&P 500 slipped 0.26%. The Dow closed up 0.17%.

D-Wave Quantum: QBTS in Focus After $100 Million Funding Round

D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares trade close to $30 as June kicks off. The stock saw swings in a holiday-shortened week. Investors look ahead to Monday’s investor day, waiting for new details on a proposed U.S. government investment. D-Wave is trying to use its funding rally to make a bigger pitch for valuation. The New York Stock Exchange lists Memorial Day, May 25, as a market holiday for 2026. Its main session goes from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, so Friday's close is the last full session before the holiday.

Quantum Stocks Rally on $2 Billion Washington Move; QBTS, RGTI, INFQ Surge

D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Infleqtion shares all jumped more than 30% on Thursday as traders reacted to fresh U.S. government funding tied to quantum tech. D-Wave ended up 33.37% at $25.74, Rigetti added 30.57% at $22.04, and Infleqtion gained 31.48% to close at $14.70. IBM and GlobalFoundries moved higher, too. Commerce is shifting from research grants to action, signing nine letters of intent tied to $2.013 billion in CHIPS Act incentives. These aren’t final awards, but the department said it would get minority, non-controlling equity stakes in each business.

D-Wave’s Bookings Spike Keeps QBTS in Play, but the Revenue Math Still Has to Catch Up

D-Wave’s Bookings Spike Keeps QBTS in Play, but the Revenue Math Still Has to Catch Up

D-Wave Quantum dropped its key number for investors ahead of Tuesday’s open: bookings surged to $33.4 million in the first quarter, a staggering 1,994% jump from the same period last year. That leap got a major lift from Florida Atlantic University’s $20 million order for a system, plus a $10 million, two-year quantum computing-as-a-service contract with a Fortune 100 client. Bookings represent customer orders likely to convert into future revenue—they’re not revenue recognized yet. That explains why the stock jumped ahead of the report. QBTS finished Monday at $24.03, gaining 6.47% after quantum stocks bounced hard. Options players were set for an 18.83% swing on earnings, either way. Investors weren’t just paying for D-Wave’s latest sales figures; they were betting that those orders might finally translate into more consistent revenue streams.

D-Wave Quantum Stock Jumps Again as Nvidia Ising Launch and CEO Pitch Put QBTS Back in Focus

D-Wave Quantum Stock Jumps Again as Nvidia Ising Launch and CEO Pitch Put QBTS Back in Focus

UPDATE April 15, 2026, 22:45 - Shares of D-Wave Quantum extended gains after Nvidia unveiled its “Ising” quantum-AI models, with QBTS among the stocks lifted by renewed investor interest in the sector. The rally comes as CEO Alan Baratz publicly challenged Nvidia’s dominance, saying the chip giant should be “shaking in [its] boots” as quantum computing advances. Analysts say Nvidia’s push into quantum error correction and calibration could accelerate commercialization, keeping speculative momentum in quantum names despite ongoing profitability concerns. D-Wave Quantum shares were on track for more gains Wednesday, up roughly 8% ahead of the bell after surging 15.8% in the previous session. Nvidia’s new open-source quantum AI models helped fuel the rally. Meanwhile, CEO Alan Baratz continued lobbying in Washington, aiming to position D-Wave as a serious commercial quantum contender rather than a research long shot.
