D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) Fell 18.5% This Week; Here's Why
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) saw a sharp decline in its stock price during the week ending June 13, 2025, dropping 18.5%.
The downturn was driven by several key factors:
- Dilutive Stock Offering: D-Wave announced an at-the-market (ATM) offering to raise up to $400 million, which could dilute existing shareholders.
- Profit-Taking: D-Wave was up 169.5% in the previous 5 weeks (i.e. since the end of April) which caused some investors to cash in gains, contributing to the sell-off.
