Quantum Computing Stocks at Risk Amid Insider Selling
Quantum computing pure-play stocks, including IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), have seen significant price rallies over the past year, with Rigetti experiencing a remarkable 784% increase. However, insiders at these companies have collectively sold nearly $926 million in shares over the last five years, raising concerns about the sustainability of their market performance.
Boston Consulting Group estimates that quantum computing could generate up to $850 billion in global economic value by 2040, indicating a strong potential for growth in this sector. However, despite this promising outlook, insider selling trends suggest skepticism about future stock performance, as just a few insider purchases have occurred in recent years.
As of December 5, insider selling includes $574.2 million from IonQ, $54.1 million from Rigetti Computing, $264.2 million from D-Wave Quantum, and $33.2 million from Quantum Computing Inc. This ongoing trend highlights the possibility that early market excitement may not translate into long-term investment viability.
