IonQ drops 42% from October highs despite Q3 earnings beat and raised guidance
IonQ is trading around $48, down about 42% from its October peak of $85. The drop comes despite a solid Q3 report on Nov 5 where they beat revenue estimates ($39.9M vs $27M expected) and reported smaller losses than anticipated.
Management raised full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $106-110M and hit their #AQ 64 technical milestone early. The main issue seems to be valuation, as it trades at over 100x 2025 sales estimates, and a broader rotation out of speculative quantum stocks like Rigetti and D-Wave. Analysts still have an average price target of $75.50.

caught the valuation reality check. Great earnings, raised guide, real tech progress but 100x sales will humble anyone. Quantum hype cooled fast and the stock paid the price. Question is does the long game still win from here?
