Davidson Operator Hello, and welcome to the IonQ First Quarter 2025 Earnings Call.
IonQ projects Q1 2025 revenue of $7–8 million and EPS of -$0.30, following a severe Q4 earnings miss. Full-year 2024 GAAP net loss hit $331.6 million, with $106.9 million in stock-based compensation and $136.8 million in R&D. FY2025 revenue guidance of $75–95 million implies strong growth, but EPS remains deeply negative at -$1.15.
IonQ shows promise in quantum advantage but faces integration hurdles. Wait for post-earnings clarity before entry, given premium valuation and modest Q1 outlook.
Though investors' attention is now mostly focused on President Donald Trump's tariffs and trade wars, the tech sector's quantum computing race is still going on. Yet that shift in focus away from the promising technology could actually be the very thing that allows investors to get in on some of the hottest quantum computing stocks at more reasonable valuations as they were trading at high premiums just a few months ago.
