D-Wave Quantum stock dips into Monday: what QBTS traders are watching next

D-Wave Quantum stock dips into Monday: what QBTS traders are watching next

New York, January 11, 2026, 19:05 EST — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares were last down about 4% at $28.11 on Friday, after swinging between $31.13 and $28.07 as volume climbed to roughly 46.8 million shares. The pullback matters because D-Wave is trying to remake its story fast. The company is betting that buying Quantum Circuits will speed its move into “gate-model” quantum machines — the more general approach that runs algorithms through logic gates, rather than D-Wave’s legacy quantum annealing systems that are mainly built for optimization problems. It also comes at an awkward moment for risk appetite.

D-Wave Quantum stock slides 4% into weekend — what QBTS traders watch before Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:08 EST — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares closed Friday around 4% lower at $28.11, wrapping up a volatile week for the quantum computing firm. The stock fluctuated between $31.14 and $28.07 during the session, with roughly 46.7 million shares traded. Investors will face a fresh deal timetable come Monday. (Yahoo Finance) The pullback is significant because D-Wave’s strategy is shifting beyond just marketing quantum services. The firm now aims to expand its focus from “quantum annealing”—a niche method typically applied to optimization problems—toward gate-model machines, the architecture most competitors target for a wider

D-Wave Quantum stock slides into weekend after sharp swing; QBTS investors eye late-January deal timeline

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 19:29 EST — The market has closed for the day. D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday down 4.0%, closing at $28.11 after a choppy session. Investors now turn to next week for updates on the company’s growth strategy. This move is significant now because D-Wave has turned into a fast-money favorite once more. Even minor changes in expectations can pack a punch when investors juggle execution risks alongside lofty promises in a developing technology. U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, shifting attention to Monday’s open and the potential impact of Wall Street Zen’s recent

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) stock slips premarket as $550 million Quantum Circuits deal spotlights dilution

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:05 EST — Premarket D-Wave Quantum Inc (QBTS) shares slid about 3.1% to $29.28 in premarket trading on Friday as investors digested the company’s agreement to buy Quantum Circuits in a $550 million cash-and-stock deal. The stock component will be based on a 10-day volume-weighted average price, with a collar of $22.30 to $39.03 per share, and the deal can be terminated if it isn’t completed by April 6, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal is notable because it takes D-Wave further into gate-model quantum computing, the “circuit” approach

D-Wave Quantum stock drops after $550M Quantum Circuits deal; QBTS eyes Jan. 27 Qubits event

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 15:12 (EST) — Regular session D-Wave Quantum Inc shares were down 3.8% at $29.05 on Thursday, a day after the company unveiled a $550 million agreement to buy Quantum Circuits, a private developer of gate-model quantum hardware. The move matters because D-Wave is trying to prove it can turn quantum computing from demos into sales, and the acquisition is a costly way to speed that pitch. Gate-model systems are designed to run broader classes of quantum algorithms, while D-Wave’s annealing machines are built mainly to tackle optimization problems. SEC Investors are also fixated on the

New York, January 7, 2026, 20:16 (EST) — Market closed D-Wave Quantum shares fell 3.4% to close at $30.20 on Wednesday after the quantum computing company announced a $550 million deal for Quantum Circuits. StockAnalysis The move matters now because D-Wave is trying to widen its pitch beyond quantum annealing — a specialised method used mainly for optimisation problems such as scheduling — and push harder into “gate-model” systems, the general-purpose approach most labs pursue. Gate-model machines run sequences of operations on qubits, the basic unit of quantum information. The deal followed a separate announcement on Tuesday in which D-Wave

D-Wave Quantum stock dips after $550m Quantum Circuits deal — what QBTS investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 15:17 EST — Regular session Shares of D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) were down about 1.1% at $30.93 on Wednesday afternoon, after the company agreed to acquire Quantum Circuits in a $550 million cash-and-stock deal. The stock swung between $32.15 and $30.44 earlier in the session, with roughly 29 million shares traded. The acquisition puts D-Wave, best known for quantum annealing systems used for optimization problems, closer to gate-model machines that run sequences of operations — the “gates” — and are viewed as more general-purpose. D-Wave said the $550 million price includes $300 million in stock and

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:49 EST — Market closed Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc. rose 8.9% to $30.64 on Monday, outpacing a roughly 0.6% gain in the S&P 500 and a 0.8% rise in the Nasdaq-heavy QQQ ETF. The stock traded between $27.79 and $31.33, with about 46.0 million shares changing hands. The move lands as the Consumer Electronics Show’s CES Foundry spotlights quantum technology on Jan. 7–8 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. CES organizers list D-Wave among the companies expected to run live demos at the Foundry. CES That matters for QBTS now because the stock has

D-Wave Quantum stock jumps nearly 10% as options bets build ahead of CES 2026

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 14:02 EST — Regular session Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) rose nearly 10% on Monday, lifting the quantum-computing stock back toward $31 as traders tracked an uptick in options activity ahead of this week’s CES events. The rally matters because QBTS has become a bellwether for risk appetite in the thinly traded “quantum” corner of the market, where sentiment can turn on conference demos and headlines more quickly than on quarterly fundamentals. With CES days away, investors are watching for any customer wins, partnerships or product-readout details that can be tied to revenue, not

D-Wave Quantum stock closes up 7.6% as CES week nears — what QBTS investors watch next

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 19:12 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares closed Friday up 7.6% at $28.13, after trading between $25.44 and $28.42. About 48.4 million shares changed hands. The timing matters. CES week is set to bring a fresh round of visibility for small-cap quantum computing names, with D-Wave due at the CES Foundry event in Las Vegas on Jan. 7–8, the company said. Murray Thom, D-Wave’s vice president of quantum technology evangelism, said “the technology is quickly moving into the mainstream.” Business Wire Investors also face a macro cross-current.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday up 7.6% at $28.13, with about 48 million shares traded as the stock ranged between $25.44 and $28.42. The move matters because the quantum-computing sector has started 2026 with renewed momentum, and D-Wave is approaching a busy stretch of investor-facing events. Traders have also been recalibrating their bets on high-growth, high-volatility names after fresh guidance from Federal Reserve officials. Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said on Saturday that further U.S. rate cuts could be some way off as policymakers take stock of inflation and
