IONQ Stock Analysis: Supporting Factors and Risks
Supporting Factors
Remaining performance obligations of $1.2 billion give IonQ a larger base of contracted revenue, according to the company's release.
IonQ expects its quantum computing revenue to grow 110% this year, per the release.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $1.7 billion at September 30, or about $3.7 billion pro forma after a $2.0 billion equity offering closed on October 16, per the release.
Risks
The adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $133.6 million from $48.9 million a year earlier, per TIKR, and the quarter's $564.0 million net income came largely from a non-cash warrant gain, according to the company.
TIKR noted that IonQ is paying for its Elisity acquisition with up to $1.3 billion of stock, on top of the October offering, so the share count is rising.
Lock-ups on certain shares, warrants and options expire on November 14, which TIKR said will test whether the rally can absorb new supply.
