Stock Track | IONQ Inc. Soars 24.72% Intraday on Stellar Q4 Earnings Beat and Upbeat 2026 Guidance

Stock Track02-27

IONQ Inc.'s stock surged 24.72% during Thursday's afternoon trading session, marking a significant rebound for the quantum computing company.

The dramatic rise follows the release of IONQ's fourth-quarter financial results, which far exceeded analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $61.9 million for the quarter, blowing past the consensus estimate of $40.4 million and representing a staggering 429% increase year-over-year. For the full year 2025, IONQ achieved $130 million in revenue, becoming the first public quantum computing firm to surpass the $100 million annual revenue milestone.

CEO Niccolo de Masi stated the company was at "both a strategic and financial inflection point," highlighting that 2025 was "a year of tremendous accomplishments." The positive sentiment was further bolstered by the company's 2026 revenue guidance, which projects $225 million to $245 million, with a midpoint of $235 million that significantly surpasses analyst expectations. The strong results provided a much-needed catalyst for the stock, which had fallen 25% year-to-date through Wednesday's close, weighed down by acquisition concerns and a recent short seller report that the company has called "false, misleading, and unsubstantiated claims."
