    Listen to the news
    • In late 2025, IonQ announced a series of developments, including a world-record 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, new quantum partnerships in biotech and defense, and an expanded international footprint through leadership appointments such as Dr. Marco Pistoia heading IonQ Italia.
    • Together with its investment in Horizon Quantum Computing’s PIPE financing and its role as core technology partner for CCRM’s quantum-biotech initiatives, IonQ is increasingly positioning itself as a full-stack quantum platform spanning computing, networking, sensing, and security across multiple high-value sectors.
    • Against this backdrop, we’ll examine how IonQ’s breakthrough 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity reshapes the company’s investment narrative and perceived competitive position.

    What Is IonQ's Investment Narrative?

    To own IonQ, you have to believe that today’s small, unprofitable pure‑play can grow into a core infrastructure provider for quantum computing, networking, sensing, and security across government and industry. Near term, the key catalysts are continued contract wins, especially from defense and national labs, plus evidence that its record 99.99% two‑qubit gate fidelity is pulling real workloads and revenue onto IonQ systems. The new CCRM quantum‑biotech partnership and the Heven AeroTech defense deal both reinforce that story, but they do not, on their own, change the fact that IonQ is still burning cash, issuing equity, and trading on very rich expectations. Instead, these announcements mainly strengthen the argument that IonQ’s platform is becoming harder for customers and partners to ignore.

    However, the reliance on fresh capital and ongoing dilution is something investors should understand. Our expertly prepared valuation report on IonQ implies its share price may be too high.
