IonQ Inc closed Friday at $49.31, falling 2.47%, with 67.76 million shares traded. Volume reached 215% of the 65-day average and topped the 50.49 million shares sold short as of June 15. The stock dropped 15.45% in five sessions but remained up 85.45% over three months. This is notable because the drop did not make IonQ look cheap based on current sales.

IonQ’s Volatile Week Leaves Bulls Focused on Monday Trade

NYSE is shut outside its 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern window on Sunday, so IonQ Inc. heads into Monday after a rocky week, not an active trading move. The quantum-computing stock finished Friday at $51.95, down 9.6% for the day. Shares are still above May 8’s $49.24 close, after a big rally Monday and a retreat late in the week.

Tech shares took a hit, with the Nasdaq down 1.5% and the S&P 500 falling 1.2% Friday, hurt by higher oil prices and bond yields.

  • Ceres Power Tanks 25.8% in Late June as Investors Move Out of Growth, Firm Issues More Shares
    July 4, 2026, 3:19 AM EDT. Ceres Power Holdings plunged 25.8% in the last week of June, adding to a hard month where the stock is down 41.8%. Shares had been up nearly 300% from January to May. The UK company makes money by licensing out its solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) tech to partners like Doosan and Shell instead of producing the cells itself. The drop came as traders pulled out of risky tech and after Ceres raised £100 million through a placing, putting 17.8 million new shares on the market and hitting holders with dilution. SOFC demand could reach 22GW each year by 2030 with AI data center growth. Some analysts now see the fall as a possible entry for investors looking at oversold UK names.
