IonQ's Blowout Quarter Has One Big Catch

IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) delivered the kind of first-quarter results that can light up a growth stock. 

Revenue came in at $64.7 million, up 755% year-over-year and 30% above the midpoint of the company's prior guidance range, while net income totaled $805.4 million, or $2.19 per share, according to the company's earnings release.

The quantum computing company also raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $260 million to $270 million and reported remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $470 million, up 554% year-over-year.

But the headline numbers came with a notable catch: IonQ remains deeply unprofitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis.
