Latest Quantum Computing Inc. Stock News

As of September 02, 2026, Quantum Computing Inc. had a $1.8 billion market capitalization, putting it in the 52nd percentile of companies in the Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals industry.

Quantum Computing Inc. does not have a meaningful P/E due to negative earnings over the last 12 trailing months. Quantum Computing Inc.’s trailing 12-month revenue is $9.8 million with a -152.5% profit margin. Year-over-year quarterly sales growth most recently was %. Analysts expect adjusted earnings to reach $-0.245 per share for the current fiscal year. Quantum Computing Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

CFRA has a positive fundamental outlook for the application software sub-industry, as we also have for the systems software sub-industry. Though the constituents differ, in an increasingly “cloud world” that is moving away from the clear demarcations of the client-server architecture and based more on a distributed micro-services architecture, the distinction between application and systems software becomes fuzzier and less relevant from an investor’s perspective. As of September 14, 2021, trailing 12-month S&P 500 Software Industry revenue was $392 billion, up 17.5% Y/Y, with growth accelerating in 2H 2020 as many enterprises delayed projects and cut spending due to the initial uncertainty at the start of the Covid19 pandemic. We forecast S&P 500 Software Industry revenue to grow 16% in 2021, continuing to benefit Covid-19-related spending, decelerating to 12% in 2022, driven primarily by the ongoing migration of enterprise apps to the cloud, partially offset by declining revenue from legacy clientserver software revenue that consists primarily of sales of maintenance and support contracts and secondarily of license sales. Compared to the S&P 500 Software Industry, the larger overall global software industry, which grew 3% Y/Y in 2020 to $575 billion, contains many smaller, nicheoriented, or country-specific vendors that are more dependent on maintenance revenue from legacy client-server apps (and even from lingering mainframe software). We project the overall global software industry to grow ~11% in 2021 and ~9% in 2022 to $638 billion and $700 billion, respectively.

Quantum Computing Inc. Stock Growth Grade

Growth Grade:

Metric Metric Score QUBT Sector Median
Sales Growth 5yr Ann'l na 0.0% 9.0%
Sales Increases YoY Last 5 yrs 40 2 of 5 3 of 5
Cash from Operations Ann'l Positive Last 5 yrs 0 0 of 5 4 of 5

The foundation of growth investing is seeking out stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth that is expected to continue into the future.

In order to compute the Growth Score and assign it a letter grade, the percentile ranks for each of the three individual components‐consistency of annual sales growth, five‐year sales growth rankings adjusted for extreme levels, and consistency of positive annual cash from operations‐must be determined. These three rank figures are added together, and the sum is ranked against the entire stock universe to arrive at a company’s Growth Score to create an equal distribution of grades.

The companies in the bottom 20% of the stock universe receive Growth Grades of F, considered Very Weak, while those in the top 20% receive A grades, which are considered Very Strong.

Quantum Computing Inc. Stock Quality Grade

Quality Grade:

Metric Score QUBT Sector Median
Return on Assets (ROA) 35 (1.5%) 0.7%
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) na 18.7%
Gross Income to Assets 5 (0.1%) 24.9%
Buyback Yield 11 (58.9%) (2.3%)
Change in Total Liabilities to Assets 57 1.0% 2.6%
Accruals to Assets 12 1.7% (6.4%)
Z Double Prime Bankruptcy Risk (Z) Score 99 41.87 5.67
F-Score 6 2 5

Like the Value Grade, AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the percentile rank of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score.

The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the underlying “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk. Backtesting of the Quality Grade shows that stocks with higher grades, on average, outperformed stocks with lower grades over the period of 1998 through 2019.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality subcomponents and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the subcomponents.

Quantum Computing Inc. has a Quality Score of 18, which is Very Weak.

Quantum Computing Inc. Stock Momentum Grade

Momentum Grade:

Metric Score QUBT Sector Median
Relative Price Strength (Q1) 14 (30.7%) (14.2%)
Relative Price Strength (Q2) 90 30.4% 3.1%
Relative Price Strength (Q3) 13 (29.8%) (8.8%)
Relative Price Strength (Q4) 16 (28.6%) (8.1%)
Relative Price Strength (weighted 4 qtr) 13 (17.9%) (1.3%)

Momentum grades help uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming. Momentum is based on the price change of a stock over a specified period relative to all other stocks.

Typically, AAII looks at the weighted relative strength over the trailing four quarters. The weighted four-quarter relative strength rank is the relative price change for each of the past four quarters. The most recent quarterly price change is given a weight of 40% and each of the three previous quarters are given a weighting of 20%.

Quantum Computing Inc. has a Momentum Score of 13, which is Very Weak.

Other Quantum Computing Inc. Stock Grades

In addition to Growth, Momentum and Quality, A+ Investor also provides grades for Value and Estimate Revisions.

AAII Platinum Banner

The Earnings Estimate Revisions Grade takes into account the magnitude of a company’s earnings surprise in its last two reported fiscal quarters. Often, surprises beget further surprises‐or at least continued sales growth (the exact opposite is generally true, too). AAII’s stock screen that follows the companies with the highest earnings estimate revisions (i.e., the best grades) has a 23.3% backtested annual return since inception, whereas an example screen following those with the worst revisions has a backtested annual return since inception of under 5%.

Successful stock investing involves buying low and selling high, so stock valuation is an important consideration for stock selection. Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.

These 2 key factors, when combined with the above, provide a holistic view into a stock. Further, by joining A+ Investor you can see whether Quantum Computing Inc.’s stock passes any of our 60+ stock screens that have outperformed the market since their creation.
