IonQ Soars 18%, D-Wave Climbs 15%, Rigetti Gains 12%: Is the Quantum Super-Cycle Back in Full Force?
"IonQ is the clear leader in today's session, with IONQ stock trading at $35, up from $29.76 at yesterday's close. The primary catalyst is a new innovation center agreement with the University of Cambridge, which adds institutional credibility to IonQ's growing global footprint."
"IonQ posted Q4 2025 revenue of $61.89 million, a 429% year-over-year increase that beat estimates of $40.26 million by a wide margin. Full-year 2025 revenue reached $130.02 million, and management guided for $225 million to $245 million in 2026 revenue."
"A $60 million QuantumBasel contract over four years and a world-record 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity milestone round out the recent catalyst stack. That said, significant options activity and retail debate over dilution and cash burn are adding volatility to the move."
Quantum computing stocks are surging, with IonQ, D-Wave Quantum, and Rigetti Computing posting double-digit gains. IonQ leads with an 18% increase, driven by a new agreement with the University of Cambridge and speculation about its role in national defense. Despite year-to-date declines, IonQ's Q4 2025 revenue of $61.89 million represents a 429% increase year-over-year. The company anticipates revenue growth to $225 million to $245 million in 2026. Sentiment data indicates a bullish outlook for IonQ, supported by strong social media and news scores.
