As of the closing bell on April 15, IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing had rallied 45%, 26%, 42%, and 29% over the last two trading sessions. Though it would appear that one of Wall Street’s hottest trends is bouncing back in a big way, investors would be wise not to take the bait<\/a>.<\/p>\n Quantum computing stocks are flying yet again<\/p>\n Quantum computing, which uses specialized computers to solve complex equations in a fraction of the time it takes classical computers, offers a sky-high addressable market. Boston Consulting Group analysts foresee this technology creating up to $850 billion in global economic value by 2040. <\/p>\n It’s also a technology with intriguing real-world use cases. It can be used to expedite the training of AI-driven large language models and run molecular interaction simulations to improve clinical trial success rates, among other tasks.<\/p>\n Today’s Change<\/p>\n (0.34%) $0.15<\/p>\n Current Price<\/p>\n $44.83<\/p>\n Key Data Points<\/p>\n Market Cap<\/p>\n $16B<\/p>\n Day’s Range<\/p>\n $43.68 – $45.82<\/p>\n 52wk Range<\/p>\n $23.48 – $84.64<\/p>\n Volume<\/p>\n 10M<\/p>\n Avg Vol<\/p>\n 24M<\/p>\n Gross Margin<\/p>\n -2267.11%<\/p>\n Quantum computing is the subject of potential hefty investments, as well. In October, JPMorgan Chase launched its $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative<\/a>, naming quantum computing as one of 27 sub-areas that may see investments or financing. <\/p>\n But the catalyst responsible for sending IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing soaring this week was AI titan Nvidia hosting a Quantum Day<\/a> on April 14. Nvidia shedding light on quantum computing tasks and AI integration puts these stocks back in the spotlight.<\/p>\n Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n Quantum computing remains Wall Street’s biggest bubble<\/p>\n While the fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) is likely tugging on investors’ heartstrings following two-day gains of 26% to 45%, quantum computing stocks remain rife with red flags.<\/p>\n To begin with, every game-changing trend since the advent of the internet has navigated its way through an early stage bubble-bursting event. These bubbles form because investors overestimate how quickly an innovation will be adopted and\/or optimized. In the case of quantum computing, it’s still very early in its adoption stage and nowhere close to optimizing sales and profits for businesses. Both hallmarks of a bubble are present.<\/p>\n To build on this point, the valuations of quantum computing stocks make little sense<\/a>. History shows that price-to-sales (P\/S) ratios<\/a> above 30 for companies on the leading edge of next-big-thing trends have proved unsustainable. Over the trailing 12-months, IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc. have P\/S ratios of 95, 846, 272, and 2,333, respectively.<\/p>\n IONQ PS Ratio<\/a> data by YCharts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rounding things out, the barrier to entry for pure-play quantum computing stocks may be considerably smaller than investors realize. Several members of the “Magnificent Seven<\/a>” have developed quantum processing units and have much deeper pockets than pure-play quantum computing companies. It’s not out of the question that IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing cede their first-mover advantages entirely in the coming years<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though quantum computing FOMO may be tempting, don’t take the bait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For more than three years, arguably no trend has excited investors quite like the rise of artificial intelligence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-403505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"IonQ](\"https:\/\/g.foolcdn.com\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Fart%2Fcompanylogos%2Fmark%2FIONQ.png&w=128&op=resize\"\/)
