Quantum Computing Market Insights
Quantum computing stocks, particularly unprofitable pure-plays like Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), may face significant declines if the current bubble bursts. Rigetti’s shares increased over 600% in the past year, but it reported a net loss of $201 million in Q3 of 2025. Similarly, D-Wave’s stock surged over 440% with a Q3 net loss of $140 million, while IonQ, valued at around $19 billion, reported a net loss of $1.1 billion despite a 222% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3.
In contrast, larger tech firms such as Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and IBM (NYSE: IBM) are likely to fare better due to their diversified revenue streams. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) is highlighted as the preferred investment choice among these giants, having a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23.3 and showcasing advancements in quantum computing through its Google Quantum AI division.
