Summary
$1.68 billion was raised as Quantinuum priced its Nasdaq IPO at $60 a share—$5 above the marketed range after the deal was upsized twice—setting a record for a quantum listing.
Demand drove the strong pricing: the order book was reported more than 20 times oversubscribed and dominated by long-only institutional investors, outpacing most recent technology floats.
Shares opened near $58 in the debut, valuing the quantum computing company at about $15 billion and putting it among the small group of publicly traded quantum firms.
The listing caps Quantinuum’s rise from the 2021 merger of Cambridge Quantum and Honeywell Quantum Solutions into what it describes as the world’s largest integrated quantum computing business.
With a $15B valuation but massive losses, can Quantinuum bridge the gap between quantum hype and real-world profitability?
As quantum attacks loom by 2029, can Quantinuum's technology win the race to secure our digital world before it's too late?
