IonQ, Inc. is recognized as a leading player in the quantum computing sector, showing promising performance but facing challenges in scaling proven use cases. While the technology remains largely experimental, experts believe the strategic position of IonQ has strengthened significantly due to acquisitions this year, encouraging investment at current levels. There's a general anticipation that quantum computing will revolutionize computational capabilities in the coming years, with IonQ and competitors like RGTI being key players to watch. Their recent partnerships, such as the memorandum of understanding with the US Department of Energy, have driven notable growth, with IonQ shares rising 78% in just three months, signaling investor confidence in its future potential.

DON'T BUY

When interest rates go up, these stocks are tough to own.

WATCH
Quantum computing.

Her team is very excited about this. Use cases haven't scaled or been proven over the last 2-3 years. They've been looking at commercial applications, which are in a very experimental phase. Makes it hard to justify on risk/reward right now. Time to invest is once we see commercial acceleration.

Big players are IONQ and RGTI. Unclear which technology will be the winner.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 21/25, Up 43%)

His 12-month price target is $65. Strategic case has strengthened with its acquisitions this year. Buy here just over $55, and again ~$45. Trim when it gets to the price target.

PARTIAL BUY

In the space, he owns QUBT plus IONQ, QBTS, and QNC -- about a 4-4.5% position across all those names. Within 3 years, you can be sure that quantum computing is all we're going to be talking about. They're going to be able to do something we couldn't do before -- not that it does things faster, but it has more computational power. The area will change everything.

He'd buy a bit of each of these names.

BUY

The largest quantum computing stock, up 78% in the last 3 months with most gains coming after the recent analyst day then signed a MOU with the US Dept. of Energy.

PARTIAL BUY

Very difficult to place price targets, as it's so small. He added more at the beginning of this week. For it to be commercially viable and scalable is the better part of 3 years down the road. He'd never have more than a 1.5-2% position.

TOP PICK

Not profitable, so don't put more than 2% in. Uses trapped ion technology, which uses ions suspended in electronic fields as qubits. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $40.00)
RISKY

Has trimmed it twice, now a small position. Very volatile. Nvidia will have a quantum day next week, so watch or that. IONQ is one of the leaders in quantum computing. Still likes it.

PARTIAL SELL

She bought it around $12-15. She trimmed her holding because it's highly volatile, though huge upside is possible. Likes it overall.

SELL

Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, said that quantum computing has a long way to go, which crushed quantum computing stocks today. This sector got overheated. These stocks have even more downside ahead. They're losing tons of money and have zero or very little revenue. Frothy and excessive. It's not too late to sell.

RISKY

Quantum computing now is in a classic hype cycle. Don't take any options. Take some profits. There's a lot of volatility in this space; these companies are not profitable. But in a few years, you will wish you had got in on the ground floor.

DON'T BUY

Low revenues, losing a lot of money.

DON'T BUY

It's been parabolic, so too risky. You could get killed.
