Shares of D-Wave Quantum experienced a significant rally on Thursday, fueled by a combination of a bullish new analyst initiation and strategic plans to target the U.S. government sector. The market’s focus has shifted to whether this push into security and defense can accelerate the company’s growth trajectory.

The primary catalyst for the upward move was Wedbush Securities initiating coverage on the stock. The firm assigned an “Outperform” rating and set a price target of $35. Based on a closing price of approximately $24.90, this implies a potential upside of around 40%.
