Quantum computing is gaining attention as it leverages quantum mechanics to solve complex problems that classical computers can’t solve or solve fast enough. Three companies, IonQ (IONQ), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), are being closely watched by Wall Street analysts.
TipRanks’ Stock Comparison Tool compared the three stocks, revealing their performance and analyst ratings. Based on the results, here’s a brief overview of each company:
IonQ Inc. is developing trapped-ion quantum computers for commercial, industrial, and academic applications. The company reported flat revenues in Q1 2025 but a lower-than-anticipated loss per share. Despite this, IONQ stock has rallied 70.5% over the past month and has risen 9.4% year-to-date.
Rigetti Computing claims to be a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing. The company serves global enterprise, government, and research customers via its Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services platform. However, Rigetti Computing’s Q1 revenue was disappointing, plunging 52% year-over-year to $1.5 million.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. is building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers, focusing on unlocking commercial use cases in optimization. The company recently reported impressive Q1 results, delivering a 509% year-over-year jump in revenue to $15 million.
Analysts are bullish on all three stocks, but with concerns about downside risk for IONQ and QBTS stocks. Rigetti Computing’s unanimous Buys from analysts indicate confidence in the company’s growth potential despite its recent revenue decline.
