IONQ IonQ, Inc.

Bank of America just placed a bold bet on the largest pure-play quantum stock by revenue, and the ripple effect lifted the entire sector. Here is what the analyst sees that has other investors scrambling to reassess their positions.

We rated three quantum computing stocks a year ago, and the market handed back a brutal verdict on nearly all of them. Now the landscape has shifted enough that at least one of those calls gets reversed entirely.

IonQ's quantum advances and rising revenue outlook face profitability and valuation hurdles, while Microsoft offers quantum exposure backed by strong cash generation.

Twelve months after a bold quantum computing call promised four-figure returns, the scorecard arrived with a twist: the pick lost money, yet still outperformed every pure-play rival in the sector. Here is what that split verdict reveals about the trade.
