IonQ’s quantum computing dreams are hitting a wall as soaring interest rates crush investor confidence in its future profits—despite record revenue growth and big government contracts.

A May rally fueled by government hype gave its stock a spike to $72, but since then it’s plunged over 50%.

For a rebound, IonQ needs either a stunning earnings beat or a dramatic shift in interest rates—neither of which is guaranteed right now.
