Change in closing price from the first day shown, or with Price the closing price itself. Prices: Yahoo Finance, to Nov 12, 2026. Dashed lines: the days the company released earnings (its SEC 8-K filings); EPS estimates: Yahoo Finance. The stock's move after a release runs from the last close before its day to the close the day after (or five days after), so a release before the open counts like one after the close.

Beyond ±100% the scale is logarithmic, so that Jun 2025's −5,406% and the quarters near zero both read. Circled: Dec 2024 (net −3,727.9%, operating −876.2%), Jun 2025 (net −5,406.4%, operating −856.3%), Sep 2025 (net −3,743.9%, operating −741.8%), Mar 2026 (net −642.3%, operating −1,914.9%). Net margin is usually about 18 points above operating margin; in those quarters something below operating income (a tax charge or benefit, a gain or loss on investments, a write-down) moved it, not the business itself.

Targets, ratings and earnings estimates: Yahoo Finance. Rating and target changes: Yahoo Finance's list of upgrades and downgrades. The average target on each day is the average of every listed firm's latest target set in the 180 days before it, so it counts fewer analysts than the average target above, and the band is the middle half of those targets (a quarter of the firms are above it, a quarter below); a target set before a stock split is divided by the split. Expected figures: the average of the analysts' estimates (Yahoo Finance). Their EPS is adjusted, as analysts estimate it, so it is set against the adjusted EPS Yahoo reports for the same quarters, not the GAAP EPS of the growth and valuation sections; revenue against the SEC filings. No change is given against a quarter whose reported EPS was more than 50% off its own estimate (often a one-off gain or charge), nor against a year that counts one. Each estimate is pinned to its fiscal period by the report date or the period's end, and one that cannot be is left out.
Where the cash goes
Capex of $8M exceeds operating cash flow of −$111M, leaving free cash flow of −$119M. The gap has to be covered with cash on hand or borrowing.

| Capex | −$8M |
| Free cash flow | −$119M |

| Cash retained | −$119M |
Free cash flow is negative, so the company is burning cash.
No dividend today; cash goes to growth and share buybacks.
Free cash flow: operating cash flow minus capital spending on property, plant and equipment, from SEC filings.
Financial health
Current ratio 42.4, no pressure to repay short-term debt; debt-to-equity 0.0, debt is very low and the balance sheet is solid.
Assets that can be turned into cash soon are 42.4x what is owed within a year. 1.5 or higher is comfortable; below 1 needs watching.
For every $1 of shareholder funds, there is $0.0 of debt (leases not counted). The higher the number, the more pressure when the economy weakens.
Cash and short-term investments of $884M against debt of $36M. Lease obligations of $7M are not counted: they are rent owed, not money borrowed. It also holds $2M of long-term investments, all of them securities it could sell.

From the 13F filings of the 83 funds Hunch tracks, not of every institution: each fund's shares of QBTS at its latest quarter end against the quarter before, as filed (long positions only, options left out), the quarter before put on the latest quarter's share count across a split. A fund files 45 days after its quarter ends, so some have a newer quarter than others. Value is at the quarter end. Norges Bank filed its 13F for Q1 2026 confidentially, with no holdings made public, so its row compares Q2 2026 with Q4 2025.
Are insiders buying or selling?
Officers and directors bought $1,795 and sold $75.6M of QBTS on the open market in the 12 months to Nov 12, 2026. 54% of the sales were made under 10b5-1 plans, set up in advance. The largest was Alan E Baratz (President & CEO; director), who sold $41.9M in 2 sales.
