On October 17, D-Wave Quantum Inc. fell 8.04% in regular trading, trading at $11.7872/share, with turnover of $150 million.
The main disclosed catalyst was the company’s update that its VoltaB1 Advantage2 annealing quantum computer had arrived in Como, Italy for installation, marking progress on its European deployment.
Under the previously announced 10 million euro agreement, the system is funded by Swiss Quantum Technology, which secured 50% of the machine’s capacity for five years and holds an option to purchase the full system. Once installed, the machine is intended to provide European researchers, universities, and businesses with access to production-grade annealing quantum computing technology. Despite the commercial milestone, the stock had already shown weakness around the announcement, indicating investors remained cautious on near-term financial conversion and valuation digestion.
