"Some of this was likely due to simple profit-taking after a stellar run and a little post-high clarity that while quantum computing may be the future of computing, that future is still years away. And of course, external factors, including geopolitical uncertainty, AI bubble fears, and generalized anxiety about the economy, also helped pull down quantum stocks (as with most other tech stocks)."
"But in the last month, the fortunes of quantum stocks began to turn. As Fast Company previously reported, this all started around World Quantum Day in mid-April. And that April rally is now continuing into May. As of this writing, all four quantum computing companies are seeing their stock prices jump yet again in premarket trading, including:"

Four publicly traded U.S. quantum computing companies rebounded after early-2026 losses. Investor sentiment weakened at the start of the year due to profit-taking after strong 2025 gains and the realization that practical quantum computing progress may still be years away. Broader market concerns also weighed on the sector, including geopolitical uncertainty, fears tied to an AI bubble, and general economic anxiety that affected many technology stocks. In mid-April around World Quantum Day, the stocks began reversing losses, and the rally continued into May. In premarket trading, D-Wave, IonQ, Quantum Computing Inc., and Rigetti all rose again, adding to gains from the prior five sessions. The surge is attributed to quantum earnings season updates.
