Stock surge for D-Wave Quantum due to undisclosed reasons today
In a significant move, D-Wave Quantum, the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers, has announced its first-ever quantum computing user conference, named Qubits Japan 2025. The event is scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan, and is a testament to the company's growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
The announcement was made in connection with D-Wave's expansion in the region, with the company's leadership, including CEO Dr. Alan Baratz, involved in these strategic developments. However, the specific individual who made the official announcement is not explicitly named in the search results.
D-Wave has seen an 83% increase in bookings for annealing quantum computing technology in the Asia Pacific region, indicating growing interest and adoption of the technology across the region. This growth has contributed to D-Wave's impressive revenue figures, with the company reporting an annual revenue of $22.3 million, a more than 150% increase over the past year.
Despite this rapid revenue growth, D-Wave remains a long way from profitability. The company lost more than $280 million over the last 12 months, which is twice its losses in 2024 alone. This has led most analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence to agree that D-Wave will not earn its first profit before at least 2030.
The increase in D-Wave Quantum's shares by 7.8% in afternoon trading on Thursday might be due to the press release announcing the user conference. However, the company's status as a speculative stock, suitable for momentum traders but not necessarily ideal for serious investors, means that the impact on the stock price may be short-lived.
If the bookings translate into revenue and profits for D-Wave, it would be beneficial for the stock. The company is capitalizing on the demand for quantum computing technology by holding a trade conference in Japan, demonstrating its commitment to driving the adoption of this cutting-edge technology.
As the only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers, D-Wave is uniquely positioned to lead the way in the development and commercialization of quantum computing. The Qubits Japan 2025 conference is a significant step in this direction, and it will be interesting to see how the event unfolds and how it contributes to D-Wave's continued growth and success.
