D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) saw its stock plummet 5.61% during intraday trading on Friday, extending pre-market losses.
The decline followed negative analyst actions, including Mizuho cutting its price target on the stock to $40 from $46, and Evercore ISI lowering its target to $42 from $44. These downward revisions by major financial institutions contributed to bearish sentiment in the market.
Analyst price target reductions often signal concerns about a company's future performance or valuation, prompting investors to reassess their positions.
