Shares of eponymous quantum computing company Quantum Computing Inc. <\/strong>(NASDAQ: QUBT) soared 11.6% through 11 a.m. ET Monday. And why?<\/p>\n

That’s not entirely clear. There’s no significant quantum stock news<\/a> out today, concerning either Quantum Computing stock in particular or quantum stocks in general. There is a story on Investor’s Business Daily today, but it basically boils down to an observation:<\/p>\n

Quantum stocks have done very well in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Make that most quantum stocks have done very well in 2025. Quantum Computing stock, it turns out, is the exception to the rule, with shares down 40%.<\/p>\n

Quantum Computing specializes in “quantum optics and integrated photonics technology” to build “accessible and affordable quantum machines” designed to operate at room temperatures (i.e., no super-cooled). Which all sounds great, but Quantum Computing is doing barely $500,000 in annual revenue — not a lot for a stock valued at $2.4 billion.<\/p>\n

Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence<\/a> anticipate rapid growth in sales in percentage terms, but even two years out, in 2027, they forecast no more than $15 million in revenue (which works out to about a 163-times price-to-sales ratio). And they don’t see Quantum Computing earning any profit as far out as anyone is willing to make projections.<\/p>\n

How can Quantum Computing change these forecasts?<\/p>\n

Perhaps aiming to change the story, Quantum Computing pivoted last week, announcing it will buy semiconductor company Luminar Semiconductor from Luminar Technologies<\/strong> (NASDAQ: LAZR) for $110 million. Interim CEO Yuping Huang called this “a meaningful step forward in our strategy to develop and scale practical, integrated quantum solutions.”<\/p>\n

Quantum Computing investors may be happy if it just gets sales over the hump to single-digit millions.<\/p>\n
