About D-Wave Quantum

D-Wave builds special computers called quantum computers that solve super complex problems regular computers struggle with. Companies rent time on these machines through the internet to crack puzzles in finance, logistics, and science.

The case for and against

Both sides of the story, in plain English.

Bull case
  • Revenue Rocket

    Sales are exploding, with revenue growing 178 percent over the past year. That kind of triple digit jump shows real companies are finally paying real money to use quantum computers, not just experimenting.

  • Trusted Tech

    Big names like Mastercard and Lockheed Martin are now customers, and the customer count grew from 125 to 132 in the past year. When Fortune 500 giants put their money behind your machines, it signals the technology actually works.

Bear case
  • Burning Cash

    D-Wave still loses money on every dollar it makes, with net margins sitting at 0 percent and zero profit to show for it. Until they flip to profitable, they have to keep raising cash from investors to stay alive.

  • Wild Ride

    This stock is extremely volatile, with a beta of 1.95, meaning it moves almost twice as much as the overall market. One day it can jump 48 percent, the next it can crash just as hard, so weak stomachs need not apply.
