D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) v červenci klesl o 29,4 % kvůli výběru zisků, obavám z ocenění a makroekonomickým faktorům. Firma čeká na výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí a plánuje přesun kotace z NYSE na Nasdaq.
Key Takeaways D-Wave Quantum has fallen 29.4% in July amid profit-taking, valuation concerns and macro headwinds.QBTS plans a Nasdaq listing transfer and expanded quantum research with an NSF-backed subsidiary grant.QBTS faces weak technical signals as investors await second-quarter earnings and further execution updates. The sharp pullback in D-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) this month has shifted investor attention from the quantum computing sector's long-term promise to its near-term execution risks. After delivering substantial gains earlier this year, the stock has fallen 29.4% month to date, underperforming the Computer and Technology sector's 1.4% decline and the S&P 500's 1.2% gain.
The weakness reflects a combination of profit-taking after the stock's outsized gains earlier this year, valuation concerns across high-growth quantum names and a macroeconomic backdrop marked by elevated U.S. Treasury yields and expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer. These conditions have weighed disproportionately on speculative technology stocks despite continued enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
During the same period, QBTS' pure-play quantum computing peers, IonQ (IONQ - Free Report) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI - Free Report) , also witnessed sharp share price declines of 34.1% and 27%, respectively.

Will July Catalysts Change QBTS' Trajectory?D-Wave Quantum will report its second-quarter earnings in early August. While the stock has remained under pressure amid a broader selloff of speculative growth companies, the company's strategic execution continues to advance. Most notably, D-Wave announced plans to transfer its listing from the NYSE to the Nasdaq later this month, a move expected to enhance its visibility among technology-focused investors and potentially broaden its shareholder base. The company also disclosed that its Quantum Circuits subsidiary received a U.S. National Science Foundation grant to support research in fault-tolerant quantum computing, further strengthening D-Wave's expansion beyond quantum annealing into gate-model quantum systems.
The broader industry backdrop also remains constructive. NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) recently introduced an open-source AI decoder that significantly improves quantum error-correction performance, while IBM reaffirmed plans to invest more than $10 billion in quantum technologies over the coming years. Meanwhile, governments across the United States and Europe continue to expand funding for quantum research and commercialization. These developments strengthen the long-term growth opportunity for the sector, although they are yet to offset near-term concerns surrounding elevated valuations, higher Treasury yields and a "higher-for-longer" interest-rate environment that continues to put pressure on pre-profit technology companies.
What Do the Estimates Say?The earnings estimate chart indicates that D-Wave is expected to report a second-quarter loss of 8 cents per share, representing an 85.5% improvement from the year-ago quarter. For full-year 2026, the consensus estimate calls for a loss of 25 cents per share, reflecting a 77.5% improvement from 2025. Despite the broader market selloff, the absence of estimate revisions suggests that analysts have adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of the company's second-quarter earnings release.

Key Takeaways D-Wave raised its outlook to 2-3 system deals annually, with at least 2 deliveries expected this year.QBTS posted $33.4M Q1 bookings as its sales pipeline and average potential deal size more than doubled.QBTS expects multiyear service, maintenance and cloud contracts to add recurring revenue after system sales. D-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) , or D-Wave, continues to see growing interest in its Advantage2 annealing quantum computer system. During the May 2026 earnings call, management raised its annual outlook for system sales, now expecting to close 2 or 3 system deals per year, with at least 2 system deliveries anticipated this year.
The stronger outlook comes on the back of record first-quarter bookings of $33.4 million, up 1,994% from the year-ago quarter and 149% from the fourth quarter of 2025. More than two dozen commercial customers accounted for more than 31% of quarterly bookings, while educational and research organizations made up the rest.
The largest transaction was the $20 million annealing quantum computer system sale to Florida Atlantic University in January, which D-Wave views as an important collaboration to further quantum computing experimentation and innovation. During the first quarter of 2026, the dollar value of the company’s sales opportunity pipeline more than doubled from the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, while the average potential deal size also more than doubled over the same period.
Management noted that system sales typically involve multiple stages, such as site preparation, delivery, installation and calibration, before customers begin using the systems. While a significant portion of revenues is recognized when a system is delivered, additional revenues are recognized over time as installation and calibration activities progress.
D-Wave also expects most system transactions to include multiyear revenue components, such as service and maintenance contracts, as well as access to its cloud service. These recurring streams expected to complement revenue generated from the initial system sales.

Key Takeaways QBTS bookings jumped 1,994% year over year as commercial momentum continued into first-quarter 2026. QBTS is expanding beyond annealing with a gate-model roadmap after the Quantum Circuits acquisition. QBTS revenues can fluctuate as larger contracts depend on customer deployment schedules and milestones. D-Wave Quantum’s (QBTS - Free Report) shares have surged 42.9% over the past year, showing impressive momentum. It has significantly outperformed the industry’s 14.2% decline and the S&P 500 composite’s 23.1% gain.
With healthy fundamentals and strong growth opportunities, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company appears to be a solid wealth creator for its investors at the moment.
D-Wave Quantum develops and delivers quantum computing systems, software, and services for commercial customers. Core use cases focus on optimization-workforce and production scheduling, vehicle routing and resource allocation, with expanding applications in AI and research. The current sixth-generation annealing system is Advantage2. Revenues come from three primary sources — cloud-based quantum computing as a service (QCaaS), professional services that help customers deploy solutions and on-premises system sales.
Key Catalysts for QBTS’ GrowthD-Wave Quantum’s share price is trending upward, prompted by its commercial momentum carried into the first quarter of 2026. Bookings were up 1,994% from the year-ago period. Over two dozen commercial customers represented over 31% of bookings, while the largest order was the $20 million Florida Atlantic University system sale. Remaining performance obligations were $42.4 million as of March 31, 2026, with about 54% expected to convert to revenues in the next 12 months and 71% in the next two years.
Investors are also focused on the company’s annealing platforms - Advantage2 and the Leap cloud service. The company is extending its product set into gate-model computing following the Quantum Circuits acquisition in January 2026. It highlighted dual-rail qubits with built-in error detection and on-chip cryogenic control as key elements of its gate-model approach. It is targeting roughly 175 physical qubits by the end of 2028 to demonstrate error correction and logical operations, then 10 logical qubits by 2030 and 100 logical qubits by the end of 2032. Alongside this long-dated gate-model roadmap, D-Wave continues to add commercial annealing applications in production and expand research use cases, including work in quantum AI and blockchain benchmarking.
From solvency view point, cash and cash equivalents totaled $338.2 million and marketable investment securities amounted to $250.2 million. Operating cash outflow was $45 million in the first quarter, while investing cash outflow included $250.8 million of cash consideration for the Quantum Circuits acquisition. Even after that step-down, the balance sheet supports continued investment in R&D, sales coverage and system installations. Leap cloud utilization was below 50% entering 2026, which leaves capacity headroom, and additional annealing systems can be installed within months at modest cost.
Factors That May Offset QBTS’ GainsD-Wave’s revenue mix still depends on the timing of larger contracts and system deliveries. First-quarter 2026 revenues fell to $2.9 million from $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 because the prior-year quarter included $12.6 million from the first system sale, with no comparable system revenues recognized in the current period.
