Our View on QUBT Stock
Quantum Computing ended the third quarter of 2025 with in-line earnings, while revenues topped estimates. The year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter was mainly due to increases in the number, size and level of effort performed on research and development services and custom hardware contracts. The company also started to recognize revenues for cloud-based access to the Dirac-3 quantum optimization system.
Some of the key operational highlights in the third quarter include achieving further commercial progress across its quantum AI and cybersecurity offerings. QCi announced a purchase order from a top-five U.S. bank for its quantum security solutions, the first U.S. commercial sale of its quantum cybersecurity solutions. In addition, it continues to advance discussions with commercial and academic partners while planning for Fab 2, a second, larger facility designed to support higher-volume production in the coming years.
