Quantinuum Makes IPO Debut as Quantum Era Approaches (QNT:NASDAQ)
The quantum computing company raised $1.68 billion after pricing above its range, reflecting strong demand from institutional and retail investors.
- On Thursday, Quantinuum debuted on the Nasdaq exchange, with shares opening at $68 per share following an upsized IPO priced at $60. The offering valued the quantum computing firm at about $17.6 billion.
- Founded in 2021 through the merger of Honeywell's quantum division and UK-based Cambridge Quantum, the company develops hardware and software solutions. Honeywell retains about 48.1% of the combined voting power and remains a strategic partner.
- CEO Raj Hazra told Reuters that "the commercialization has started," yet Japan's RIKEN research institute accounted for roughly 60% of 2025 revenue. This concentration underscores reliance on government-funded research organizations.
- The Department of Commerce announced a $2 billion initiative supporting nine quantum companies, with Quantinuum receiving $100 million in funding. The Trump administration's backing stems from the 2022 Chips and Science Act.
