Key Points on Quantum Computing Stock Valuations
Quantum computing companies Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave have offered substantial returns over the past three years despite trading at significantly high valuations. As of now, IonQ has a price-to-sales ratio of 145, while D-Wave and Rigetti stand at 270 and 980, respectively, compared to Nvidia’s 3 times sales in 2015.
According to Grand View Research, quantum computing revenue is projected to reach $4 billion by 2030, a stark contrast to the estimated $390 billion for artificial intelligence in 2025. Meanwhile, Rigetti inflated its share count by 164%, D-Wave by 209%, and IonQ by 77% over the last three years, further diluting shareholder value.
Experts suggest that practical applications of quantum computing will not emerge for at least 10 years, indicating a possible bubble in the stocks of these companies, potentially leading to a significant market correction by 2026.
