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

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?

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?

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.

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 stock has returned about 17x over 3 years, which puts extra focus on how much future growth is already reflected in the price.

How to read the score
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 measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
