IonQ Gains on International Deals as Market Watches Key 2026 Levels

Investor focus turns to 2026 profitability estimates after a year of volatile gains.

Overview

  • IonQ shares traded up about 1.5% to $45.93 on Tuesday even as major indexes slipped, extending a recent rebound.
  • IonQ reported new commercial activity, including deploying Slovakia’s first quantum communication network and delivering a 100‑qubit Tempo system to South Korea’s KISTI.
  • The company continues to tout trapped‑ion performance, citing a 99.99% two‑qubit gate fidelity claim as a competitive edge.
  • Rapid growth persists alongside losses, with revenue up 222% year over year in the latest quarter and a Q3 2025 net loss of $1.1 billion largely tied to warrant revaluation, or roughly $173.8 million on an adjusted basis.
  • Wall Street lists a Moderate Buy consensus with an average target near $75, and technicians are watching the 200‑day moving average near $44.22 and the 100‑day near $53.89 as key levels.
