Wedbush Maintains Bullish Outlook

Wedbush reiterated an Outperform rating on Monday, maintaining a price forecast of $60.

This analyst confidence coincides with a 202% year-over-year GAAP revenue increase reported for 2025. CEO Niccolo de Masi recently highlighted that IonQ is the first to solve “the fundamental science” for utility-scale quantum computing.

Earnings Anticipation Builds

Wall Street looks toward Wednesday's first-quarter earnings report. Analysts expect a loss of 52 cents per share on revenue of $49.68 million. Investors are tracking whether the company can maintain the 80% organic growth seen in its core compute business last year.

Quantum Ecosystem Expansion

The rally follows a recent partnership with Florida LambdaRail to build a statewide quantum-safe network. IonQ continues to position itself as a merchant supplier, with plans to acquire SkyWater to bolster onshore manufacturing.

IonQ Stock: Key Technical Levels To Watch

IonQ is sitting in the upper half of its 52-week range of $25.89 to $84.64. The stock is trading 18.8% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 16.8% above its 100-day SMA, which suggests buyers have controlled the short- and intermediate-term trend; it's also about 1.1% above the 200-day SMA, showing it's only recently reclaimed that longer-term reference point.

The moving average picture is still mixed because the death cross in February (50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA) remains in place, even as the 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA.

  • Key Resistance: $49
  • Key Support: $44
