Billionaires Favor a Deep-Pocketed Incumbent Over Pure-Play Quantum Stocks

Yahoo Finance names IBM the best long-term quantum stock.

Overview

  • Recent SEC Form 13F filings show billionaire fund managers avoiding IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing Inc., opting instead for a foundational company in the quantum space.
  • Yahoo Finance argues IBM is the strongest long-horizon investment in quantum computing based on its resources and execution record.
  • IBM disclosed it is nearing $1 billion in cumulative quantum-related signings, reflecting growing commercial traction with partners and clients.
  • IBM’s public roadmap targets a 2026 demonstration of quantum advantage, the first fault-tolerant system by 2029, and useful scaling of qubits into 2033 and beyond.
  • In November, IBM announced its Nighthawk processor featuring 120 qubits and 218 tunable couplers, intended to underpin its planned near-term demonstrations.
