Quantum Computing (QUBT) Expands In Qatar, Is The Stock Cheap? - simplywall.st

Quantum Computing (QUBT) just took a step into the Middle East by signing a three-year framework agreement with Qatar's Hamad Bin Khalifa University to expand quantum research, education, and applied projects. For investors tracking Quantum Computing over the past year, the picture mixes pressure and long-term resilience. Despite a roughly 26% decline in the 3 month share price return and a 55% drop in the 1 year total shareholder return, the 3 year total shareholder return remains very large at over 7x. This suggests that recent weakness may reflect changing risk perceptions more than a broken long-term story. Scan other quantum-focused opportunities by checking out the hand picked 25 quantum computing stocks. Quantum Computing now trades at a sharp discount to the average analyst target near $18.67, after a heavy pullback. Is the fair value gap a warning signal, or an opportunity worth unpacking next? AdvertisementMost Popular Narrative: 56% Undervalued Against the last close of $8.00, the most followed narrative pegs Quantum Computing’s fair value near $18.33, which points to a wide gap that hinges on very aggressive growth and margin assumptions. The move from prototype systems to planned volume manufacturing by the end of the decade, supported by over $1.5 billion of newly raised capital and a low liability balance, allows QCi to invest aggressively in automation, yield improvement and design reuse. These efforts should help reduce unit costs and support sustained improvement in gross margin and earnings power. See why 63 investors see Quantum Computing as 56% undervalued. Result: Fair Value of $18.33 (UNDERVALUED) Still, the story around Quantum Computing carries real fragility if its very small current revenue fails to scale, while rising operating costs keep widening ongoing losses.

Example are numerous: 11M loans banks to be paid seems right, but it has not been an issue at all, it has been paid in full. (and it happens all the time in every business...); the previous HR becoming a financial director in the article herself being attacked by TPG on the legal side; the wrong address of curator (if truly announced by TPG).Trustee: according to my research (which can be incomplete) no communication to the Nordic trustee (hereby, bond holders) has been done on a, indebtedness (late payment) > 1M€, which is their obligation by contract (clause 14.d - https://corporate.the-platform-group.com/bond/) => this is a sign of a huge lie and fraud, or the sign that there is no indebtedness > 1M€ over the whole TPG group.Legal: still awaiting for an answer, probable that I won't get it.VALUATIONYou can spent hours working the fundamentals, if they're flawed...the thesis falls.Anyway, I always substracts the badwill (that I consider non-current - you have it in the CFS) & non-controlling interests from my valuation:Earnings ~22MFCF ~40M€The financial statements are not the issue here, we are more on an cheap option on the sincerity of the accounts that a real valuation. Unfortunately, these are unverifiable elements, hence the low price./!\ Careful:the accounts are consolidated and skip the subsidiaries issues...Careful with the business model: TPG0 is a financial holding that acquire subsidiaries, hold the debt, and has no operations. 100% of the Cash Flow comes from subs' dividends => it is a risk here, more a plumber risk than an operational one, but nevertheless...The auditor is too small, and managed by the same firm than before, with 140K€/year commission => it's too low, nobody external really reviewed what Benner and his team are doing internallycapital increase do not go through the CFS, but through change in equity AND equity in the BSIf the equity stays low too long, the WACC increase will be unbearable (I have a 30% global, with a 118% on equity): diluting is expensive => TPG machine can stay broken for a while.Most of the people I talk with never saw this, while this is ESSENTIAL to Benner's business model.SEVERAL EVENTS THAT COULD CHANGE:AEP is being audited by KPMG: if Benner plays the "we will propose KPMG to our shareholders BEOY", this can increase the trust in him significantly/KPMG (or other) to validate the 2026 IFRS accounts & having a word on HGB's: though still consolidated, at least we'll know...AEP being eventually acquired: while it carries a high integration risk due to its size, they talked about it so many times, that trust goes with it.Without this combination of event, the equity is doomed to stay at this level, IMO.Do not forget to also follow the bond: with TPG's announced safe harbor plan for buyback (25% of daily exchange), it is also interesting to check this illiquid and retail market: https://live.deutsche-boerse.com/bond/no0013256834-the-platform-group-ag-8-875-24-28?mic=XFRA1|0COConstantin_Mar on Platform Group SE KGaA · 5 days agoQuite a lot of speculation presented as if it were evidence.You are combining alleged payment disputes, alleged bank actions, legal disputes with journalists and other unverified claims to imply that TPG’s financial reporting is somehow unreliable or that the company is approaching insolvency. That’s a very serious conclusion, but the evidence you’ve presented doesn’t establish it.TPG’s financial statements, share count, debt, cash flow and acquisitions can all be checked against official filings and corporate documents. That’s called due diligence. Repeating allegations and then pointing to a low P/E doesn’t prove anything.In fact, the P/E below 1 is precisely the reason the underlying numbers need to be investigated rather than dismissed. If you have documentary evidence that TPG’s reported figures are false, that banks actually cancelled the alleged facilities, or that the company is insolvent, publish the documents and numbers.Otherwise, this reads less like analysis and more like an attempt to create fear and selling pressure around a micro-cap stock.Claims require evidence. Allegations are not evidence.1|1UNUniformBright on Vestis · about 3 hours agoFrom Uniform Bright’s perspective, customer retention is the primary metric investors should watch at Vestis. Revenue growth, pricing, and margin improvement matter, but those gains are difficult to sustain if customers continue to leave. Retention is the clearest indicator of service quality, recurring-revenue durability, and whether the turnaround is actually working.0|0
