D-Wave Quantum

D-Wave reported real customer wins, including AT&T cutting a network optimization task from an hour to under 15 seconds, and RPO rose to $40.7 million, up 668% year over year. The company expanded via the Quantum Circuits acquisition to add a gate-model program and targets 100 logical qubits by 2032, supported by a peer-reviewed validation of its dual-rail approach. However, CFO John Markovich is retiring, free cash flow remains deeply negative and share count has doubled in two years as D-Wave funds aggressive growth, leaving a high valuation that assumes execution goes nearly perfectly. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
