IonQ (US46222L1089) raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to USD 450.00-460.00 million on September 8, 2026, after completing its SkyWater Technology acquisition. IonQ stock was last at EUR 39.08 on a German venue on October 5, 2026 at 12:32 p.m. CEST, versus EUR 38.97, while the euro quote stood 44.70 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 70.64.
SkyWater changes the revenue base
According to IonQ on September 8, 2026, the new outlook includes SkyWater revenue from July 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026. It also removes estimated intercompany revenue from the companies' previous commercial agreement.
The guidance range gives investors a clearer scale for the combined business, but it is not directly comparable with the earlier standalone outlook because the acquired semiconductor manufacturer contributes only part of the year. IonQ said the combined roadmap targets commercial-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing.
Quarterly growth meets large losses
MarketBeat reported that IonQ generated USD 80.05 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 286.70 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusted loss per share was USD 0.33, compared with a consensus loss of USD 0.56, while quarterly revenue exceeded the USD 66.47 million estimate.
The comparison is important because the operating picture combines rapid top-line expansion with continuing losses. MarketBeat reported a negative net margin of 553.27 percent for the quarter, leaving execution of the higher guidance as the central financial test.
Analysts set a higher valuation bar
Bank of America initiated coverage on September 28, 2026 with a Buy rating and a USD 60.00 price target, according to MarketBeat. The same report listed a Moderate Buy consensus from 15 analysts, including 10 Buy ratings, four Hold ratings and one Sell rating, with an average target of USD 63.83.
