IonQ's trapped-ion technology makes it easier to miniaturize quantum systems. D-Wave's quantum annealing services help organizations streamline their operations.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?

IonQ (IONQ +0.24%) is making a bold move to accelerate quantum computing by controlling its entire chip supply chain. If the technology arrives on schedule, the upside could be massive, but delays could be devastating.

Quantum computer stocks are down in 2026, creating buying opportunities. Two compelling quantum stocks are IonQ and IBM.

Quantum computing could be the next big breakthrough after AI. IonQ is an intriguing quantum computing play given its lead in accuracy.

Quantum computers allow calculations to be performed at vastly greater speeds than current devices. Experts say that we could soon see quantum systems with commercial value.

These three stocks are high-risk, high-potential-reward investments.

IonQ IONQ is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Feb. 25, amid rapid strategic execution and expansion efforts. However, a complex geopolitical backdrop and broad-based tech selloffs have weighed on overall growth momentum.

Acquisitions, not organic growth, fueled most of the company's recent revenue increase. IonQ is burning through cash, and its losses are widening.

Pure-play quantum computing stocks IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave soared by as much as 6,217% over the trailing year, as of mid-October. A high-ceiling addressable market has investors excited about the potential for quantum computers.
