On May 21, IonQ Inc. rose 6.77% in regular trading, trading at $56.27/share, with trading volume of approximately $674 million. The rally extends a technical rebound that began after consecutive sessions of profit-taking drove shares down over 13% from post-earnings highs.

On the news front, the 2x inverse IonQ ETF plunged 16.88% in the prior session, signaling a significant reduction in short-selling pressure as bearish positioning unwinds. The stock had previously surged following its blockbuster Q1 report released on May 7, which showed revenue of $64.67 million — up 754.72% year-over-year — along with net income of $805 million, marking a dramatic swing to profitability. The company also raised full-year guidance. Multi-day profit-taking from May 14 through May 19 erased a substantial portion of gains before the current recovery phase took hold.

IonQ, Inc. develops general-purpose quantum computing systems in the United States, selling access to quantum computers through cloud platforms including AWS, Azure Quantum, and Google Cloud Marketplace, and provides algorithm co-development consulting services.
