Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Bookings reached $35.5 million in first-half 2026, up 1,120% year over year.
  • AT&T expanded usage on July 24, 2026, and Nasdaq Verafin signed July 27.
  • NSF and NRC grants funded Advantage2 software, dual-rail research, and Ocean integration.

What critics are saying

  • Q2 2026 revenue was $3.1 million, flat year over year, while loss widened.
  • Operating expenses hit $55 million in Q2, and first-half EBITDA loss reached $37 million.
  • Insider selling and a 610x sales multiple expose a valuation collapse if bookings slip.

What makes D-Wave Quantum unique

  • D-Wave is the only commercial dual-platform quantum vendor, pairing annealing with gate-model systems.
  • Its Ocean SDK and Advantage2 Zephyr topology target optimization workloads customers actually pay for.
  • AT&T, Nasdaq Verafin, and Florida Atlantic University validate enterprise demand in 2026.

BMO initiates D-Wave Quantum with $35 target, sees 85% upside on commercial quantum progress

D-Wave Quantum stock rose 2% on Friday after BMO Capital initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and $35 price target, suggesting roughly 85% upside. Analyst Harsh Kumar highlighted D-Wave's commercial revenue generation and dual capability across annealing and gate-model quantum systems as competitive advantages. The company reported $35.5 million in bookings during the first half of 2026, up more than 1,120% year-over-year, whilst remaining performance obligations climbed 668% to $40.7 million. However, second-quarter revenue of approximately $3.1 million missed expectations. The company posted a $0.13-per-share loss, wider than the projected $0.09 loss. Despite the bullish analyst coverage, D-Wave requires stronger revenue growth to support its valuation.

Microsoft edges D-Wave as safer quantum bet despite pure-play appeal

D-Wave Quantum and Microsoft both offer exposure to quantum computing, but Microsoft emerges as the stronger investment choice given current market conditions. D-Wave recently saw bookings surge 1,120% to $35.5 million in the second quarter. AT&T expanded its use of D-Wave's quantum annealing technology for network optimisation tasks. However, actual quarterly revenue was only $3 million, and the company remains unprofitable. D-Wave trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 610, far exceeding the technology sector average of 8. This hefty valuation poses significant risk for a company with lumpy revenue and years away from profitability. Microsoft offers quantum computing exposure with substantially less risk. The tech giant's financial strength and diversified business model make it better positioned to weather quantum computing's uncertain development timeline whilst providing stable returns.

US urges allies to choose between American and Chinese tech ecosystems in AI and quantum race

The US-China technology race is intensifying as Washington prepares to urge countries in its AI cooperation network to choose between American and Chinese technology ecosystems. This effort builds on Pax Silica, a US-led initiative securing supply chains for AI, semiconductors, and critical minerals. Against this backdrop, four stocks offer exposure to the emerging US-led advanced-technology ecosystem: NVIDIA and Micron Technology in AI, plus D-Wave Quantum and Rigetti Computing in quantum computing. The International Monetary Fund projects 3% global GDP growth in 2026, with AI-driven demand supporting technology-integrated economies despite broader economic headwinds. The Federal Reserve maintained rates at 3.5%-3.75% on 29 July, citing elevated inflation despite strong productivity and capital investment. NVIDIA remains dominant in AI infrastructure, with first-quarter revenues surging 85% year-over-year. The company guided second-quarter revenues of approximately $91 billion, though the outlook excludes Data Center compute revenues from China.

Jim Cramer relieved market "cared" about D-Wave Quantum earnings despite 9% share drop

D-Wave Quantum's shares dropped 9% following its second-quarter earnings report on 6 August, prompting Jim Cramer to express surprise that the market had begun caring about earnings. He suggested that realism was setting in for quantum computing stocks after significant rallies. The company reported mixed results. Bookings surged 1,120% in the first half to $35.5 million, driven by agreements with Florida University and a Fortune 100 company. Second-quarter revenue was $3.1 million, with 62% from commercial customers. However, quarterly revenue fell 0.6% year-on-year. Operating expenses more than doubled to $111.5 million in the first half, whilst EBITDA losses widened to $37 million from $20 million. The company's price-to-sales ratio stands at 610.97, with 19.98% of shares short as of July.

D-Wave secures $219,000 from Canada's NRC to develop quantum computing software for complex optimisation problems

D-Wave Quantum has received up to C$300,000 in funding from Canada's National Research Council through its Applied Quantum Computing Challenge programme. The company will use the funds to develop advanced software and algorithms for its Advantage2 annealing quantum computers. Working from its Quantum Centre of Engineering Excellence in Burnaby, British Columbia, D-Wave will create new graph minor-embedding algorithms for its Zephyr topology. These will be integrated into the company's open-source Ocean software development kit. The new algorithms are expected to enable organisations to solve larger, more complex optimisation problems across applications including logistics, manufacturing, scheduling, resource allocation, machine learning, and materials simulation. The project aims to expand the capabilities of D-Wave's dual-platform quantum computing systems, which offer both annealing and gate-model technologies.
