Wave and Quantum Computing were rising Thursday as quantum stocks continued to make their recovery.D-Wave and Quantum Computing shares were up 6.3% and 5.9%, respectively, while Rigetti Computing rose 0.

This is what's happening on Wednesday, as quantum computing investors cheer some kind words from Microsoft's strategic missions and technologies chief, Mitra Azizirad, who last night urged quantum investors to get ready, because "we are right on the cusp of seeing quantum computers solve meaningful problems and capture new business value."

Quantum stocks rallied Wednesday, a day after Microsoft called 2025 "the year to become quantum-ready," mitigating a string of recent losses spurred by high-profile bearish comments on the sector.

Quantum computing stocks pushed on with their run in premarket trading Thursday after gaining steam Wednesday. The good news comes as industry leaders highlight quantum computing advancements and potential growth prospects in the sector.

Quantum Computing didn't have any news of its own to report, but the company is even smaller than D-Wave, with less than $1 million in revenue over the last four quarters. Its stock has soared even higher than D-Wave's over the last year, a disconnect that could lead to a continued decline in Quantum Computing's shares.

Rigetti (RGTI) is dropping 23%, while IonQ (IONQ) is giving back 10% and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), which disclosed today that it may sell more shares of its stock, is plunging nearly 30%. The sector is dropping sharply again after Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested that quantum computing would not be “practical” for a long time.

Quantum stocks like Rigetti, IonQ and D-Wave Quantum saw steep losses after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said quantum computers are decades away.

Quantum computing is taking off, but how long will it take, and which stocks should you consider? Two leaders in the space stand out as great investments today.

Speculators are back on the hunt for early investments in quantum computing stocks after Microsoft’s President and Chief Operating Officer of Strategic Missions and Technologies, Mitra Azizirad, is now writing that 2025 is the year to become “quantum ready”.

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) said on Friday that it signed a sales agreement with agents, under which it may offer its common stock worth up to $150M.

Canadian pension manager PSP just sold nearly 20 million shares of quantum-computing firm D-Wave. It plans to sell another 20 million.
