IonQ, Rigetti and QUBT move: what’s driving quantum computing stocks into next week

IonQ, Rigetti and QUBT move: what’s driving quantum computing stocks into next week

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 13:22 EST — Market closed. Rosenblatt Securities analyst John McPeake kicked off coverage on Rigetti Computing and Quantum Computing Inc, handing both Buy ratings, Barron’s reported. The quantum computing sector stays under the spotlight, despite ongoing skepticism about extended timelines and scant near-term revenue. “Rigetti does indeed need to get their error rates down to be more competitive,” McPeake noted. (Barron’s) Quantum computing uses quantum bits, or qubits, to tackle problems beyond the reach of classical computers. But in the market, that potential is tough to value. Stocks in this space usually move on technical

IonQ stock jumps nearly 8% as quantum IPO chatter returns; traders eye next catalyst

IonQ stock jumps nearly 8% as quantum IPO chatter returns; traders eye next catalyst

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 13:04 ET — Regular session Shares of IonQ (IONQ) jumped 7.7%, hitting $51.24 in early afternoon trading Friday. The surge followed fresh interest in quantum-computing stocks after reports emerged that Quantinuum, a major private firm mostly owned by Honeywell, is gearing up for an IPO. Quantum computing relies on “qubits” — which operate differently from traditional computer bits — and the sector often moves on sentiment as much as immediate earnings. (Barron’s) Shares of other quantum-focused companies climbed as well. Rigetti Computing jumped around 4.3%, D-Wave Quantum added roughly 3.1%, and Quantum Computing Inc surged

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 12:49 (EST) — Regular session Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT.O) shares climbed roughly 5.6% on Friday, pushing the price up to $12.86 and flirting with an intraday peak of $13.18. Trading volume hit around 12.5 million shares by midday. This shift highlights just how fast momentum can swing back to small, headline-grabbing quantum stocks, where research notes and deal announcements often overshadow everyday fundamentals. For traders, it’s a stark reminder: liquidity can disappear in an instant when the tape flips. Interest has surged around the broader quantum sector following Honeywell’s announcement this week.

Earlier, the stock touched $31.25 but drifted toward its session low as about 32 million shares traded.

D-Wave (QBTS) stock jumps after hours as Honeywell’s Quantinuum IPO plan jolts quantum names

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 19:13 EST — After-hours D-Wave Quantum Inc shares jumped roughly 4.7% to $30.15 in after-hours trading Wednesday, lifted by renewed interest in quantum-computing stocks. The boost came after Honeywell revealed its Quantinuum unit intends to kick off the IPO process. (Honeywell) The burst is significant now since D-Wave’s stock stands out as a favored option for trading the “pure-play” quantum theme in the U.S., where listed names are few and price swings often steep. Honeywell’s latest move sets a fresh benchmark. Investors are now weighing what a bigger, better-backed quantum firm could fetch on public
