Summary
- D-Wave's stock surged over 1000% in the past 12 months.

- Despite stock gains, D-Wave reported a $27.7 million operating loss in Q3.
D-Wave Quantum's stock has seen a remarkable ascent, skyrocketing over 1,000% in the past 12 months. This impressive growth is largely attributed to the capabilities of its annealing quantum computers, which are instrumental in optimizing artificial intelligence model development.
The company asserts it was the first to achieve quantum advantage, a critical point where quantum devices outperform classical computers for real-world problems. This achievement, validated by institutions like the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, positions D-Wave for potential customer adoption.
Despite technological milestones, D-Wave's financial performance shows challenges. While Q3 sales doubled year-over-year, they reached only $3.7 million. The company also reported a widening operating loss of $27.7 million for the quarter, raising concerns about its financial sustainability amidst rising costs.
