David Williams has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight D-Wave Quantum’s strong position in the quantum computing industry. The company has shown significant momentum in technology advancements, customer acquisition, and financial growth, particularly with the deployment of their Advantage2 system. This system enhances their capability to solve complex computational problems, which classical systems cannot address, and demonstrates clear progress towards commercialization.
Furthermore, D-Wave’s robust financial standing, with a substantial cash position, allows for continued investment in research and development and strategic mergers and acquisitions. The company’s dual-track approach in developing both annealing and gate-model systems provides flexibility and optionality in the quantum computing space. Additionally, their expanding global commercial engagements and partnerships, such as the memorandum of understanding with Yonsei University and Incheon Metropolitan City, further solidify their market presence. These factors, combined with an attractive current valuation, underpin Williams’s Buy rating and the $20 price target.
In another report released on August 8, Craig-Hallum also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $22.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 49 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of QBTS in relation to earlier this year.
