IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) Now Covered by Bank of America

Bank of America said recent acquisitions could speed IonQ’s next-generation platform and expand revenue across quantum computing applications.

  • Bank of America initiated coverage on IonQ with a Buy rating and $60 price target on Monday, identifying the company as the largest public pure-play quantum firm by revenue.
  • Strategic acquisitions of SkyWater in July and Seed Innovations in January provide foundry capacity and software tools to accelerate IonQ's quantum-compute roadmap and support its next-generation Superion platform.
  • Bank of America projects sales will grow at a 69% compound annual growth rate through 2030, with the Superion 256 system launch planned for the second quarter of 2027 as a key technical catalyst.
  • IonQ shares rose 4% to $45.60 on Wednesday following the analyst note, while pure-play competitors Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum each advanced 2%, signaling concentrated sector momentum.
  • Analyst Vivek Arya noted that while IonQ has "multiple ways to win," investors are currently paying for growth not yet realized, warranting caution given quantum computing's execution risks and volatility.
