Quantum Computing Companies' Earnings Overview: D-Wave Quantum, IonQ, and Rigetti Computing reported strong sales but significant losses in their second-quarter 2025 earnings, highlighting the industry's rapid growth yet ongoing struggle for profitability. Each company is investing heavily in R&D and strategic partnerships to advance their quantum technologies.
Financial Position and Future Prospects: Despite current losses, all three companies maintain substantial cash reserves—D-Wave with $819.3 million, IonQ with $1.6 billion, and Rigetti with $571.6 million—enabling them to pursue ambitious technology goals and potential acquisitions as they aim for scalable, commercially viable quantum systems.

Reason
Wedbush initiated coverage of Rigetti Computing with an Outperform rating and $35 price target. With over a decade of experience in quantum computing research and development and as one of the current leaders in the superconducting qubit modality, the firm believes Rigetti is well positioned to benefit from the long-term growth in the quantum hardware addressable market. The superconducting qubits modality currently offers the broadest range of actively explored quantum computing use cases due to the rapid progress and industry momentum, and the large amounts of funding invested in this modality by some of the world's largest companies as well as the Government of China, Wedbush adds.

Reason
Jefferies initiated coverage of Rigetti Computing with a Hold rating and $30 price target. The company will benefit from early-cycle quantum tailwinds, but the stock is balanced by execution and revenue mix risks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Rigetti's credibility from past roadmap slips require sustained delivery while its revenue remains heavily government-dependent, which hinders near-term visibility.

Reason
Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh initiated coverage of Rigetti Computing with an Outperform rating and $50 price target. The firm sees the company scaling with $450M in cash, equivalents, and investments on hand. This could be sufficient to operate through at least 2030, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho says Rigetti is the closest scalable superconducting quantum computing peer to IBM and Google.

Reason
B. Riley lowered the firm's price target on Rigetti Computing to $35 from $42 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Sales and EPS came near modest consensus estimates, with most system sales expected in 1Q26 and 2Q26, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Cash of roughly $600M could support future M&A, though no immediate targets are identified, while shares have pulled back slightly after recent gains, the firm says.
