Prediction: The Quantum Computing Bubble Will Burst in 2026, and These 3 Stocks Will Go Down With It
The Motley Fool· 2025-12-08 11:45
Core Viewpoint - Quantum computing stocks are experiencing unsustainably high valuations, driven by hype rather than substantial technological advancements or customer traction [3][8][9]. Group 1: Market Performance - Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, shares of the Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF and the Invesco QQQ Trust have increased by 137% and 84% respectively, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 [1]. - Quantum computing stocks, particularly IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum, have surged over 1,000% since the onset of the AI revolution [6]. Group 2: Valuation Concerns - Current valuations of quantum computing stocks are compared to the dot-com bubble era, where companies had inflated price-to-sales (P/S) ratios without sustainable business models [11][13]. - Quantum computing pure plays are trading at P/S ratios significantly higher than those of leading companies during the dot-com bubble, which peaked at 31 to 51 for firms like Microsoft and Amazon [15]. Group 3: Industry Dynamics - The rise in quantum computing stock prices is largely attributed to speculative trading and hype in online forums, transforming these stocks into "meme stocks" [9]. - Despite significant investments in acquisitions and new technologies, companies like IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave have not achieved meaningful technological breakthroughs or substantial enterprise customer traction [8]. Group 4: Future Outlook - There is a belief that a correction in quantum computing stock prices is likely, with indications that insiders at D-Wave and Rigetti are selling shares, suggesting a lack of confidence in sustained high valuations [17][18]. - The expectation is that quantum computing stocks may experience a significant decline in 2026, with pure plays being particularly vulnerable [18].
