Quantum Computing Stock Surge

Quantum computing stocks, including IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), reported trailing-12-month gains up to 965% as of November 28, 2025. This surge comes as institutional investors predict the sector could generate between $450 billion and $850 billion in global economic value by 2040.

Investment Caution Advised

Analysts caution that these stocks are currently priced beyond historical bubble thresholds, which could result in severe losses as the market corrects itself.
