Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) experienced a significant after-hours surge of 13.94% on Monday. The move followed the company's release of its first-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2026.

The company reported a quarterly loss of $0.02 per share, which surpassed analyst expectations for a loss of $0.05 per share. Revenue for the quarter was a standout, reaching $3.691 million, a figure that exceeded the consensus estimate of $3.275 million and represented a massive increase from the $39,000 reported in the same period last year.
