D-wave Quantum Inc Share Price (QBTS.US)

" D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) ("D-Wave"), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today announced its participation in Quantum Beach, a leading quantum computing conference designed to bridge cutting-edge science with real-world impact.

D-Wave will engage in a variety of discussions at the event:

- Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, will give a talk on "Optimizing Aerospace Operations with Quantum Computing," discussing quantum optimization technology, real-world customer use cases, and the applicability of D-Wave™ technology for complex aerospace and airline industry problems at 11:45 a.m. EDT

- Dr. Alan Baratz will participate in the "Quantum AI and Supremacy" panel at 1 p.m. EDT

- Allison Schwartz, D-Wave's vice president of government relations and public affairs, will participate in the "U.S. Quantum Policy" panel at 10 a.m. EDT

Officially part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, Quantum Beach 2025, a full-day conference taking place on October 8, 2025, at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, is dedicated to demystifying quantum technologyand making it accessible to all. "

Just as I predicted before the market opened, the share price fell far in excess of the 0.1% represented by the Director sells, and about a 5% fall.

Lowest share price today: 15.16

Yesterday's close: 16.00

Profit/(Loss)%: (5.25)%

4 directors recently sold a total of $4.5m shares.

While this represents only about 0.1% of the total shares/market cap, this sends a bad message to investors, so I expect a disproportionate fall in share price today of up to perhaps 5%.

It has reached 15$ today

Any predictions in response to latest earnings?

The positives:

D-Wave's 2024 bookings reached $23.9 million, a 128% increase from 2023, with Q4 bookings up 502% year-over-year.

The company reported a cash position exceeding $300 million as of March 13, 2025.

Significant technical and business milestones achieved in the past year include a quantum supremacy demonstration and the sale of an Advantage quantum computer to Julich Supercomputing Centre.

New partnerships and customer projects were announced, spanning industries such as insurance, law enforcement, and agriculture.

The not so positive:

Full fiscal year 2024 revenue remained relatively flat at $8.8 million, and the company announced that it expects revenue of $10 million for the first quarter of 2025. A significant portion of this comes from the recent sale of a (one) Advantage(TM) annealing quantum computer.

It’s unlikely to ever generate revenue for D-Wave. For this company’s proposed consensus to work, quantum computing would have to become commercially viable and widely accessible. Millions of individual computers are mining BTC or other proof-of-work cryptos right now, and this consensus mechanism is incompatible with how those miners currently operate. Existing blockchain networks would need to be entirely redesigned to integrate D-Wave’s approach. That’s much more expensive than any quantum efficiency gains.
