D-Wave Quantum Stock Surges 20% Ahead of CES 2026 Showcase
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) shares soared more than 20% Monday after announcing plans to demonstrate its quantum computing technology at CES 2026. The January event provides a global platform to showcase annealing quantum computers and hybrid quantum-classical solvers to mainstream audiences.
Vice President Murray Thom will lead a masterclass on practical applications in manufacturing, supply chains, and telecommunications. The presentation marks a significant opportunity to highlight real-world use cases for quantum computing.
The sector rallied broadly, with Rigetti climbing 13% and IonQ gaining 11% on the same day. Despite D-Wave's 230% year-to-date surge, the company remains unprofitable with a 400x price-to-sales ratio—reflecting both the promise and speculative nature of quantum computing investments.
