If You Invested ,000 in D-Wave Quantum Stock (QBTS) One Year Ago, Here’s How Much You’d Have Today

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) is one of the leading quantum computing companies in the market, positioning itself as “the leading commercial quantum computing provider.”

The company, alongside others like IONQ And Rejectshas captured the imagination of investors who believe its technology could prove revolutionary, and quantum investments have exploded as D-Wave and its peers race to create viable quantum computing systems. D-Wave’s stock price is up 313% in 2025 and 3,670% over the past year.

So how much would you have if you invested $10,000 in D-Wave stock just a year ago? A lot. A year ago, an investment of $10,000 would have already reached $377,650. You can see the incredible gain in the chart below.

While this is an absolutely incredible gain, I don’t think it will last. The potential of quantum is incredible; it is undeniable. The problem is that this technology still has a long way to go before it is commercially viable. We are early enough in its development that it remains an open question whether this is possible, let alone when.

Given this, D-Wave’s market cap of $11.9 billion is simply not reasonable. Although it already claims to be solving real-world problems with its hybrid solutions, its trailing 12-month revenue was still only $22.3 million and it’s operating deep in the red. I would stay away from D-Wave and other pure quantum stocks until they can show they can make money with their products. Their valuations just don’t make sense at this point.
