Based on the forecast of one Wall Street analyst, two of the hottest quantum computing stocks could plummet by 54% and 80%, respectively. History, utility, and operating performance are all headwinds for high-flying quantum computing stocks.

Trapped-ion quantum computing leader IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is emerging as a potential leader in the commercialization of quantum computing through its trapped-ion technology approach. Unlike traditional superconducting quantum competitors,

The stocks were slammed last week, when Nvidia’s CEO said it would take decades for the technology to become “very useful.”

Quantum computing has suddenly become a buzzword on Wall Street. Ever since Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) reported that it hit a new milestone with Willow, its new quantum chip, quantum stocks have been soaring.

This is precisely what happened with quantum computing stocks in late 2024. Stocks like Rigetti (NASDAQ: RGTI), Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT), and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) have shot up hundreds of percentage points in the last six months,

Rigetti (RGTI) is dropping 23%, while IonQ (IONQ) is giving back 10% and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), which disclosed today that it may sell more shares of its stock, is plunging nearly 30%. The sector is dropping sharply again after Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested that quantum computing would not be “practical” for a long time.

Many quantum computing stocks exploded in value last year as investors hoped to get ahead of the crowd in what could be a transformational wave of new technology. Excitement grew

Quantum computing, a transformative leap in technology, harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems far beyond the reach of classical computers. In today’s digital world, where data and computational prowess dictate innovation,

At the CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed useful Quantum Computing was at least 15 years away. This caused the stock prices of many quantum computing stocks to crash considerably.

Just when you may have finally gotten your head around the opportunity in artificial intelligence (AI), a new investment opportunity has popped up. Quantum computing is the latest “new thing” among technology stocks.

Quantum computing is a burgeoning field with the potential to create trillions of dollars. The rising acceptance of quantum computers in finance, life sciences and chemical sectors is expected to help the quantum computing market reach $5.
