Quantum Computing Stocks: Will Earnings, 2026 Outlooks Reignite Momentum? - Investor's Business Daily

Quantum computing stocks face a pivotal moment in early 2026 as earnings reports and revised outlooks may determine whether the sector regains lost momentum after recent volatility. Quantum Computing Inc. is bridging hardware development and enterprise adoption, positioning itself as a hybrid player amid shifting investor sentiment, though Anson Funds’ recent exit signals caution. Analysts highlight two stocks—IonQ and Rigetti—as potential high-growth plays, citing advancements in trapped-ion and superconducting qubits, though both remain pre-profit with long-term risk. Enterprise adoption is accelerating in finance and logistics, but hardware limitations and error correction challenges keep commercial viability uncertain before 2027. Market watchers warn that 2026 could separate leaders from laggards, with funding shifts favoring firms demonstrating tangible progress over speculative hype.
