We've been told that the future is now, but it seems it's not quite here yet—at least not for quantum computing.

Thanks for nothing, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).
It wasn't just the CES 2025 buzz that rattled quantum stocks this week — a dose of cold water came from none other than Nvidia Corp‘s CEO Jensen Huang.
Quantum computing stocks were all the rage at the end of 2024, but just one week into January they're taking a turn.
Quantum computing stocks plunged on Tuesday following comments from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, ETR:NVD) CEO Jensen Huang who suggested the technology is still decades away. During an investor conference, Huang suggested that quantum computing may still be 15 to 30 years away from being “very useful”, dampening investor enthusiasm across the sector.
Quantum computing stocks saw huge interest from investors and Benzinga readers in 2024, with several ranking among the most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in 2024.
Companies like Rigetti Computing (RGTI), IONQ Inc. (IONQ) and Quantum Computing (QUBT) sunk as much as 30% in the premarket. The selling action comes from Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang saying the tech could be 15 to 30 years away.
