On May 29, D-Wave Quantum declined 5.8% in regular trading, trading at $27.505/share, with trading volume of $157 million. The stock extended its multi-day pullback as selling pressure from profit-taking continued.
On the news front, the decline reflects the ongoing digestion of a prior policy catalyst. The company had announced a preliminary agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce to receive up to $100 million in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act, which previously drove the stock from approximately $19 to nearly $30 over May 21-22. With that rally now fully priced in, funds have been steadily exiting positions.
Compounding the pressure, D-Wave's Q1 financial results revealed significant fundamental weakness. Revenue came in at approximately $2.86 million, down roughly 81% year-over-year, while operating expenses doubled to $56.5 million and net losses widened to $18.36 million, raising concerns over near-term profitability.
