IONQ vs RGTI vs QBTS — which to buy? — what our data shows

⚡ TradesZ research ·Updated June 23, 2026 ·~2 min read ·Grounded in SEC data

All three of these companies are betting on quantum computing — basically a new kind of super-powerful computer technology — but when you look under the hood at their recent filings, the picture isn't the same for each one. The data we have tells noticeably different stories about how steady each company looks right now.

What our data shows

IonQ, Inc. logo IONQ IonQ, Inc. 🔴Bearish lean
Our data shows a caution flag here — the only notable company filing in the past six months was about a single executive change, which can sometimes signal instability behind the scenes.
Quantum ⚠ Single officer-change 8-K in last 180 days.
Rigetti Computing, Inc. Common Stock logo RGTI Rigetti Computing, Inc. Common Stock 🟢Bullish lean
Our data shows no warning flags for Rigetti, making it the most straightforward of the three quantum names we're looking at right now.
Quantum
D-Wave Quantum Inc. logo QBTS D-Wave Quantum Inc. 🔴Bearish lean
Just like IONQ, D-Wave's only recent filing was about a single leadership change, and there's been no sign of the company publicly reshaping its business — that combo earns it a caution flag in our data.

The takeaway

⚪Neutral

RGTI stands out as the cleanest of the three based on our data, since the other two both show a caution flag around leadership changes with little else happening; if you're weighing them against each other, the question is whether that quieter filing activity at IONQ and QBTS bothers you.

But watch out
Smart-money signals lag the market (13F filings ~45 days) and never guarantee direction — always check the latest price and news yourself.
