On July 2, Quantinuum declined 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $74.31/share, with turnover of $113 million. On the news front, since multiple top-tier Wall Street investment banks collectively initiated coverage on June 29, the stock has experienced persistent sharp swings as the market struggles to reach consensus on valuation.
A total of nine brokerages launched coverage simultaneously, with target prices spanning a wide range from $78 to $155. JPMorgan assigned an Overweight rating with a $97 target, UBS initiated at Buy with $93, Mizuho rated Outperform at $90, Jefferies and Cantor Fitzgerald both set $90 targets, while BofA Securities and Needham each issued $100 targets. Rosenblatt stood as the most aggressive bull at $155. Morgan Stanley was the lone cautious voice, assigning an Equal-weight rating with a $78 target — close to the current trading level.
Since the collective initiation, the stock surged in pre-market on June 29 before reversing sharply, accumulating over 10% in losses across three sessions. A 5%-plus rebound on July 1 was immediately followed by renewed selling pressure, underscoring unresolved disagreement over how to value an unprofitable quantum computing platform at approximately $19.7 billion market capitalization.
