Physical Qubits (Quantum Annealing, Pegasus topology)

Roadmap Target
Dual-platform: annealing utility today + gate-model roadmap (June 2026 Investor Day) — initial 17-qubit gate-model system 2026, 49 qubits 2027, 181 qubits 2028, 10 logical qubits 2030, 100 logical qubits executing 1M+ operations by 2032 via dual-rail qubits (Quantum Circuits acquisition)
Advantage_system4 is a currently available Leap solver with 5,627 calibrated qubits and 40,279 couplers in a Pegasus topology. It has more qubits than the newer 4,400+ qubit Advantage2 flagship, so it is used for this largest-currently-available ranking. Quantum annealing is a specialized optimization paradigm and its qubit counts are not directly comparable to gate-model systems.

Cash
$635.35M
D-Wave revenue surges 179% to $24.6M but net loss balloons to $355M on $271M warrant charges
Management expects to continue incurring significant losses for the foreseeable future as it invests in R&D programs and go-to-market initiatives; total cost of revenue and operating expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars.
FY 2024
Revenue
$8.83M
▲ 0.8% YoY
Net Income
-$143.88M
Cash
$178.00M
D-Wave revenue flat at $8.8M while net loss nearly doubles to $143.9M on warrant liability surge
Company expects continued significant operating losses and negative cash flows as it invests in annealing and gate-model quantum computing R&D and expands go-to-market. Management believes current cash ($178M + $146M raised Jan 2025) is sufficient for at least 12 months. QCaaS revenue mix expected to grow over time.
FY 2023
Revenue
$8.76M
▲ 22.1% YoY
Net Income
-$82.72M
Cash
$41.30M
D-Wave posts 22% revenue growth but net loss widens 54% to $82.7M with going concern doubt
Company expects continued significant losses and negative cash flows as it invests in gate-model quantum computing and QCaaS growth; no specific guidance provided. NYSE compliance restored as of March 2024 but ongoing share price and covenant compliance risks remain.
FY 2022
Revenue
$7.17M
Net Income
-$51.53M
D-Wave posts $7.2M revenue but net loss balloons to $51.5M amid going concern doubt
Expects continued significant losses as R&D and go-to-market investment increases; QCaaS share of revenue expected to dip in 2023 due to professional services demand, then recover longer-term. Benchmark revenue of $70M needed to trigger SIF loan repayment, projected between 2025–2027.

▲ THE BULL CASE
• Wall Street's mean price target of $37.56 implies 132% upside — consensus rating Strong Buy across 14 analysts.
• 13 of 14 analyst ratings are Buy or Strong Buy.
• Revenue grew 179% year-over-year to $24.59M (latest fiscal year).
• $588.40M in cash gives roughly 72 months of runway at the current burn rate.
• $40.00K in U.S. federal contracts and grants across 1 awards validates the technology with government customers.
▼ THE BEAR CASE
• 121 at-the-market / shelf offering filings (S-3 / 424B / SUPPL) on record, though the most recent was filed over a year ago.
• 61.6% of daily trading volume is short selling (FINRA), signaling heavy bearish positioning.
• Not yet profitable: net loss of $355.06M in the latest fiscal year.
