Here's How D-Wave Quantum's Profitability Remains Under Pressure

D-Wave Quantum's QBTS revenues remain uneven and dependent on large system contracts, making quarterly performance susceptible to volatility. System sales fell to just $0.3 million in the first half of 2026 from $13.7 million a year earlier. The company expects most fiscal 2026 revenues in the fourth quarter as two annealing systems reach acceptance milestones. Any delays in installation or calibration could defer some of these revenues to 2027. Although backlog and deferred revenues provide some future visibility, recurring QCaaS revenues are not yet large enough to offset fluctuations in sys

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ:QBTS) shares fell 3.8% in premarket trading Monday after the company registered 7.1 million shares held by the U.S. Department of Commerce for potential resale, creating a fresh supply overhang for the quantum-computing stock. The filing does not dilute existing shareholders, but investors now face uncertainty over whether and when the government could sell a stake equal to roughly 1.9% of D-Wave's outstanding shares.

Prediction: D-Wave Quantum's Revenue Triples Before 2030

Quantum computing companies are finally starting to generate real revenue. IonQ (NYSE:IONQ), for instance, raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $450 million to $460 million ahead of its first joint investor day on Tuesday -- helped by the addition of SkyWater Technology, the chipmaking business it acquired at the end of July. D-Wave Quantum (NASDAQ:QBTS) is at a much earlier stage. The quantum computing specialist's revenue for the first half of 2026 fell 67% year over year to $5.9 million. Missed Nvidia in 2009?

Hyperscalers Bet on AI & Quantum: Watch GOOGL, AMZN, IBM in September

The AI buildout is no longer a future investment game. Hyperscalers are committing hundreds of billions of dollars to data centers, accelerators, networking and power infrastructure to meet surging demand for AI workloads. The scale is evident in Alphabet's planned $195-$205 billion of 2026 capital spending, while Google Cloud revenues jumped 82% year over year in the second quarter of 2026. Quantum computing is following a different path.

3 Quantum Stocks Just Scored $100 Million in Government Funding. Which Is the Best to Buy Now?

The race to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer has been ongoing, and the stakes are high. The technology is expected to be the next big advancement after artificial intelligence, and the U.S. government wants to make sure that a U.S.-based company is leading the way. As such, the government recently doled out $100 million each to three quantum stocks under the CHIPS Act. Which stock is the best buy will largely be determined by their technology and how far along each is. Let's dig into the three stocks to see which one stands out. Missed Nvidia in 2009?

SPY drops just 0.6% versus quantum's steeper losses, signaling rotation out of speculative growth while QTUM's 36% YTD gain cushions the sector ETF. The 10-year Treasury yield near 4.8% lifts discount rates on distant cash flows, punishing pure plays that are already down between 13% and 34% year to date. Just released.

3 Quantum Computing Stocks Have Issued a $63 Million Warning This Year That Wall Street Cannot Ignore

Quantum computing has gone from a pipe dream to a sector the market believes could become reality, perhaps more quickly than initially expected. Quantum computers are built on qubits in a constant state of superposition that can process much more data than traditional computers and explore many answers simultaneously. Experts believe quantum computing will one day be much more capable than even the most advanced supercomputers available today, and also that the technology could be commercialized.

Rising Risks Overshadow D-Wave Quantum Booking: Sell or Hold QBTS Now?

D-Wave Quantum QBTS and other pure-play quantum computing stocks are facing selling pressure despite the sector's enormous long-term growth potential and encouraging technological progress through the first half of 2026. QBTS has declined 17.9% over the past 30 days, as investors have become more cautious about the pace of commercialization, elevated losses and the ability of strong bookings to translate into near-term revenues. A similar trend can be seen from the company's direct peers. While IonQ IONQ lost 7.1%, Rigetti Computing RGTI declined 13.9% during this period. One-Month Price Compa

D Wave Quantum (QBTS) Stock Trades At A Premium As Its 17x Three Year Run Continues

D-Wave Quantum stock has delivered a very large 3 year gain, yet on broad valuation checks it still screens as expensive rather than a clear bargain. The recent share price swings and legal scrutiny give investors a lot to weigh before deciding what that premium means for risk and return. The stock has returned about 17x over 3 years, which puts extra focus on how much future growth is already reflected in the price. Commercial use cases for D-Wave Quantum's annealing systems can support long term revenue hopes, while rapid cash burn and legal investigations following the recent revenue miss h

Why Did D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) Move Today?

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) is back in focus after two law firms announced investigations into potential securities issues, following second quarter revenue that fell short of expectations and the retirement of its Chief Financial Officer.

Recent drops around the second quarter revenue miss, the CFO retirement and the subsequent law firm investigations suggest

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
