Mizuho Lifts D-Wave Quantum Price Target to $35, Keeps Outperform
Mizuho raised its price target on D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) to $35 while reaffirming its bullish Outperform rating on the stock.
Mizuho Securities has raised its price target on D-Wave Quantum, traded under the ticker QBTS, to $35, while maintaining its Outperform rating on the quantum computing company. The move signals continued confidence from one of Wall Street's prominent research desks in D-Wave's commercial trajectory and competitive positioning within the rapidly evolving quantum computing sector.
D-Wave has distinguished itself in the quantum landscape by focusing on annealing-based quantum systems, which are designed for specific optimization problems rather than general-purpose quantum computation. This approach has attracted enterprise customers seeking near-term practical applications, setting D-Wave apart from rivals pursuing gate-based quantum architectures that remain further from commercial deployment.

The quantum computing industry as a whole has attracted intensified analyst and investor scrutiny as major technology firms and specialized pure-plays alike race to demonstrate real-world utility. For D-Wave, sustained coverage with bullish ratings from established banks like Mizuho provides a degree of credibility that can be meaningful for a company still in a growth and commercialization phase, where sentiment and institutional confidence play an outsized role in valuation.
