D-Wave Quantum Soars 4,550% to $20 as Advantage2 Sales Lift 2025 Revenue 179%

4 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · May 15

$0.41-to-$20 trading turned D-Wave into a 4,550% stock winner after investors rewarded a sharp turnaround in system sales.
2025 revenue jumped 179% to $24.6 million as the company began selling Advantage2 machines, which it says solve some problems 25,000 times faster while using less power.
Advantage system sales carry price tags above $20 million, but they are infrequent and lumpy; D-Wave says it will deliver at least two systems in 2026 and target two to three annually after that.
More than 100 companies have tested D-Wave's services, yet much of that activity remains in low-revenue pilot programs, leaving recurring revenue limited outside a $25,000-per-quarter enterprise subscription tier.
Analysts see revenue reaching $142.4 million by 2028, but with an $8.2 billion market value and EBITDA still expected to stay negative, the rally remains highly speculative.

With bookings soaring but revenue plummeting, is D-Wave's stock rally built on hype or a sustainable future?
