On June 16, D-Wave Quantum declined 5.29% in regular trading, trading at approximately $24.60 per share, with turnover of $225 million. The stock gave back gains from the prior session's oversold bounce as persistent headwinds reasserted pressure.
On the news front, CEO Alan Baratz sold 687,627 shares on June 8 at an average price of $26.13, totaling approximately $17.95 million. The executive reduction signal continues to amplify selling pressure. Meanwhile, Q1 results reported revenue of only approximately $2.86 million, down roughly 81% year-over-year, while operating expenses doubled to $56.5 million and net losses expanded approximately 239% year-over-year, raising significant concerns about near-term profitability.
Notably, the stock had previously rebounded over 7% on June 15 following a cumulative decline exceeding 20% in June, partly supported by Rosenblatt maintaining a Buy rating with a $43 target and Mizuho raising its target to $35. However, the fundamental overhangs from insider selling and deteriorating financials appear to have capped the recovery.
