The stock trades 55% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/2

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/2
Strong cash, light debt

There is $2.4B in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $2.4B would remain.

A loss of $510.4M against $130.0M in annual sales.

FINALE · THE GRADE
F
19 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, IONQ sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: IONQ is a high-risk stock — not yet profitable, and its future rides on its product catching on.

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (40/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
