Yahoo Finance singled out D-Wave Quantum and IonQ as top quantum-computing stocks for 2026, arguing investors could benefit by positioning before practical systems reach mainstream use.
IonQ stood out on execution: first-quarter revenue surged 755% to $64.7 million from $7.6 million, helped by early system sales and research partnerships that could turn into larger commercial deals.
D-Wave was highlighted for its quantum-annealing niche in optimization, plus a second path through gate-model systems after a recent acquisition.
Early customer demand is already visible at D-Wave, which recently booked a $20 million sale to Florida Atlantic University and a $10 million deal with an unnamed Fortune 100 company.
The broader pitch is that quantum computing could become the next major market theme after AI, with potential applications in drug development, logistics and materials science.
