Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media An Earnings Win With a Stock Slump: What's Happening With D-Wave?Written by Nathan Reiff. Published 11/10/2025. 
Key Points - D-Wave's earnings report for the third quarter was strong, including major revenue and bookings improvements and other achievements.
- Still, QBTS shares fell by about 22% in the first full trading week of November.
- Investors remain cautious since D-Wave has yet to demonstrate a clear pathway to consistent profitability.
One of the most-hyped earnings reports of the quantum industry this season ended not with a rally, but a retreat. Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) fell nearly 22% in the first full week of trading in November 2025, closing the week under $30 per share. The drop followed the company's third-quarter report on Nov. 6 and capped a broader slide that has erased roughly one-third of QBTS's market value since mid-October. That pullback is notable given D-Wave stock is still up about 1,700% year-over-year (YOY). The earnings report contained several encouraging items—revenue and bookings climbed, technological progress continues, and the company's cash balance remains substantial. In 2022, when Larry Benedict called the peak of the market, those who stayed in oil were slaughtered.
Meanwhile those who listened to his advice scored a quick 29% gain in two days.
Now this Wall Street legend is stepping forward with a new bold claim…
And an incredible opportunity to tap directly into an energy source that's being called the "Future of America."
This strategy returned 10x the oil market in March, and Larry has found examples of this strategy returning 54%, 65%, and 176% since. Click here to get the details on what Larry is calling "The #1 Retirement Play in U.S. Energy." So why did investors largely sideline the stock? Despite meaningful progress, D-Wave has not yet convinced the market it can translate its advances into broad commercial adoption and sustained profitability. The Bright Side of D-Wave's Earnings The case for D-Wave's commercial viability is strengthening. Revenue more than doubled YOY to $3.7 million, comfortably beating analyst estimates. An after-quarter contract worth €10 million (about $11.6 million) for an Advantage2 system installation in Italy suggests that momentum could continue through year-end. Bookings rose to $2.4 million in the third quarter, further signaling demand for D-Wave's quantum solutions. The company is also making technological strides. D-Wave continues to push military and defense applications, bolstered by the Advantage2 system at Davidson Technologies being fully operational. The firm is testing prototype chips for the upcoming Advantage3 system and advancing its gate-model development. D-Wave's cash position remains strong—$836 million at the end of Q3, roughly a 2,700% increase from a year earlier—putting the company in a solid position to invest in growth. Sales from cloud services and quantum solutions helped expand GAAP gross margin to 71.4%. Adjusted net losses narrowed (losses per share were smaller than analysts had expected), despite higher R&D spending. Facing Sky-High Expectations Those results are encouraging, but the central near-term question for D-Wave—shared by other pure-play quantum companies—remains: when will the technology be widespread enough that profitability is no longer a major concern? Investors generally expect quantum technology to reach that point eventually, but many are hesitant to wait years for consistent returns, especially if a rival captures the commercial opportunity first. Can D-Wave Leverage Its Lead? Most investors still view D-Wave as a leading contender in the competitive quantum landscape. The stock's outsized returns over the past year reflect that sentiment, and 11 of 13 analysts rate QBTS shares a Buy, indicating broad optimism. There is widespread expectation the company will deploy some of its cash to acquire smaller quantum-tech rivals, which could broaden its capabilities and reduce competition. However, D-Wave's current customer base remains concentrated among large-scale researchers and government clients. The company has yet to prove its appeal to a broader commercial market that will be crucial for building recurring revenue. Until it demonstrates wider market traction—and given the stock's high valuation—investors are likely to remain cautious.
