D-Wave Quantum Stock Surges Amid U.S. Quantum Computing Push
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) shares jumped 13% in Friday's trading, significantly outpacing the broader market's modest gains. The rally follows reports of potential TRUMP administration support for quantum computing development and new U.S. Air Force contracts in the sector.
Quantum computing remains a high-risk, high-reward investment frontier. D-Wave currently trades at 377 times expected sales—a valuation that demands extraordinary growth to justify. While speculative investors might find appeal in this emerging technology, most market participants should approach with caution given the sector's unproven commercial viability.
