Reason
Mizuho initiated coverage of IonQ with an Outperform rating and $90 price target. The firm sees the company as a leader in quantum computing with trapped ions' low error rates and higher coherence times potentially driving a faster commercial ramp versus superconducting if qubit scaling can be executed. The company is delivering a full-stack solution with computing, networking, and sensing., the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
JPMorgan initiated coverage of IonQ with a Neutral rating and $47 price target. The company is "uniquely positioned" to lead the next generation of compute processing technology, quantum computing, which has the potential to unlock multi-trillion dollars in economic value, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm views IonQ's risk/reward as fairly balanced at current price levels, reflecting the stock's "steep valuation."

Overweight
Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on IonQ to $70 from $60 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares following the Q3 earnings report. IonQ is in the very early innings of commercializing its technology, and Cantor thinks IonQ can capture 30% of the quantum hardware, software, and services market by 2035, which equates to $954M in present value terms, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
DA Davidson raised the firm's price target on IonQ to $55 from $35 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The company's "solid" Q3 earnings exceeded expectations, with management raising guidance for the full-year, the analyst tells investors in a research note. IonQ continues to invest heavily for what is the next big technological paradigm of this generation and has bolstered its positioning with its recent capital raise and acquisitions of Oxford Ionics and Vector Atomic, the firm added.
