Quantum computing stocks: QUBT slips as Wall Street stays split — what to watch next week

Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT) shares fell 1.8% to $11.72 Friday, tracking declines in other U.S.-listed quantum stocks.

CEO Yuping Huang, officially appointed Jan. 1, said the focus will shift from prototyping to manufacturing. QUBT’s 12-month price target averages $17, with a consensus “hold” rating.

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 jumps 8% before the bell as CES 2026 puts quantum back on traders’ radar

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 07:43 ET — Premarket Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc climbed 7.6% to $28.13 in premarket trading on Monday, after finishing Friday at about $26.15. The move comes as CES 2026 gets underway in Las Vegas, a week-long shop window where technology companies pitch products, partnerships and roadmaps. A CES schedule shows Media Day events running on Monday ahead of the show floor opening on Tuesday. CES That timing matters for D-Wave because conference weeks often pull momentum money into thinly traded themes, even when the underlying news flow is light. This year’s CES is expected

QBTS stock jumps as D-Wave Quantum rally puts CES 2026 and U.S. data in focus

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

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 13:50 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc shares (QBTS) closed up 7.6% at $28.13 on Friday, ending the week’s first session with a sharp move in a corner of the market known for fast swings.

Quantum computing stocks surge to start 2026: D-Wave, Rigetti, IonQ lead — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pure-play quantum computing stocks closed sharply higher on Friday, kicking off the first trading day of 2026 with outsized gains as investors returned to higher-risk corners of the market. The move matters because the group has become a barometer for “risk-on” appetite in smaller, thematic technology names. Quantum computing aims to use quantum bits, or qubits, to process certain calculations differently than classical computers, but most listed pure-plays are still early-stage businesses. The rally came as small caps rebounded in the broader market. “The market is seeing a ‘buy the

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:13 ET — Market closed Quantum computing stocks ended 2025 on a softer note, with several of the sector’s most traded names closing lower ahead of the New Year’s Day market holiday. IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum and Quantum Computing Inc. all fell in the final regular U.S. session of the year.
