Six quantum computing companies listed in 2026, but most investors know only a few, and the article highlights two lesser-known names. IQM Quantum Computers (IQMX) builds and installs superconducting systems in customers' facilities, having sold 23 systems to 13 customers and holding a backlog above 102 million euros against 2026 revenue guidance of 42 to 47 million euros. Quantinuum (QNT), which listed in June at $60 a share and has since fallen to the mid-$30s, said its Helios computer reached a 99.9995% logical fidelity, a record the company calls 10 times better than its prior result. The author suggests splitting $1,000 between the two while noting neither is near profitability and both can lose value quickly.

- Forget the Anthropic IPO. Here Are 6 Stocks Worth Watching.
The article highlights 6 public companies, IonQ, Archer Aviation, AST SpaceMobile, SoundHound AI, D-Wave Quantum and Redwire, as worth watching while attention focuses on a potential Anthropic IPO. For each stock, it examines what must happen for its market value to double by 2028: IonQ must prove its quantum computing can become commercially viable, Archer must earn regulatory certification for its electric aircraft and move into production, and AST SpaceMobile must deploy its satellite network and generate carrier revenue. SoundHound needs more enterprise clients, D-Wave needs its cloud quantum access to become recurring revenue, and Redwire must convert its backlog into revenue growth. All of these companies hold cash reserves, but the article notes continued dilution risk as they raise capital.
- The Global Quantum Technologies Market 2026-2036 Report Now Available, Profiling IBM, Google Quantum AI, IonQ, Microsoft & 350 Other Key Players
The report says the quantum technology market is shifting from venture funding toward public capital markets, citing 2026 IPOs by Quantinuum, Xanadu, Infleqtion and IQM. IonQ reported second-quarter revenue of $80.1 million, while the US Department of Commerce awarded $2.013 billion in CHIPS incentives and took minority equity stakes in participating companies. Quantum sensing remains the largest revenue segment, mainly driven by defence and national security, while quantum computing is forecast to lead after 2030. Coverage extends to forecasts through 2046, government programs, supply chains and profiles of 354 companies, though high execution risk remains.
- AI is building out the new Industrial Revolution: Nvidia's Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote at the GTC Berlin event, where he emphasized that AI is helping build the new Industrial Revolution. He noted that AI is becoming increasingly integrated into manufacturing processes.
- Is Nvidia a Top Quantum Computing Stock?
The article argues Nvidia can benefit from quantum computing without building quantum hardware, because quantum machines will need hybrid support from classical accelerated computing such as its GPUs. Nvidia has launched NVQLink, a high-speed connector linking quantum computers to GPU servers, CUDA-Q, which adds quantum functions to its CUDA platform, and Ising, an AI model for quantum error correction. Its position would remain even if quantum commercialization is delayed, since Nvidia expects global annual data center capex of $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030, and believes the big five AI hyperscalers will spend nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027.
- IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc. Are Shaking Wall Street to Its Core With This $1 Billion Warning
Four pure-play quantum computing stocks, IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum and Quantum Computing Inc., have gained between 154% and 1,180% over the two years to Oct. 16. Form 4 filings over the past five years show insiders have been decisive net sellers, with net sales of $1.02 billion across the group since Oct. 16, 2021, while insider purchases totaled under $4.3 million. The author notes that tax-related or diversification sales are normal, but the near absence of insider buying is a warning sign. The stocks trade well above 30 times trailing 12-month sales, a level the article says has historically flagged bubbles.
- If I Could Only Buy 1 Quantum Computing Stock With $1,000, It Would Be This One.
The author says that if limited to $1,000 for quantum computing, IonQ would be the pick, though as a speculative holding within a diversified portfolio. The technology could greatly speed up computing, but fragile qubits and high error rates mean widespread commercial use may be years away. IonQ uses trapped-ion technology, offers quantum-as-a-service, and partners with Nvidia; its first-half 2026 revenue rose 412%, yet free cash flow was negative $273 million, against about $2.1 billion in liquidity. The article calls its valuation, at 44 times price-to-sales, poorly aligned with its financial condition. It also warns the sector may face a shakeout like early internet search, putting smaller peers such as Rigetti and D-Wave at risk.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes.

US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News
VEFAC (ticker VEF), a Vingroup subsidiary, posted Q3 net revenue of nearly VND 77 billion, up 67% year on year, but a gross loss of about VND 27 billion as cost of sales from its exhibition business exceeded revenue.

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
