Simply Wall St Highlights 3 Quantum Computing Stocks Led by Microsoft's $2.93 Trillion Scale

1 articles · Updated · Simply Wall St · Jun 17

Summary

  • Simply Wall St named FormFactor, Microsoft and Viavi Solutions as three stocks to watch in quantum computing, framing them as picks across hardware testing, cloud infrastructure and secure network tools.
  • Microsoft stands out by size and cash generation, with revenue anchored by $135.3 billion in Productivity and $128.4 billion in Intelligent Cloud, while Azure growth, Copilot adoption and in-house AI chips support its quantum-adjacent case.
  • FormFactor offers more direct exposure to advanced chip and quantum processor testing, generating about $699.6 million from probe cards, though the report flags valuation, customer concentration, insider selling and tariff pressure.
  • Viavi Solutions adds infrastructure exposure through 400G-to-1.6T test gear and quantum-safe security products, but Simply Wall St said current losses, debt, equity funding and integration risk from deals such as Spirent remain key concerns.
  • The report presents the three names as a starting point rather than a buy call, noting its broader quantum screener includes 26 additional companies tied to hardware, software and research.
