IonQ: Self-Inflicted Wounds

By -


  • IonQ continues to decline due to fading quantum computing hype and self-inflicted setbacks, despite impressive revenue growth from 2023 levels.
  • The company guided to sequentially lower Q1 revenue and stopped reporting bookings, raising doubts about its ambitious $1 billion sales goal by 2030.
  • CEO Peter Chapman's move to Executive Chairman and the decision to raise another $500 million have further shaken investor confidence.
  • The stock still trades at a very expensive 65x forward sales.

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.
