On May 28, IonQ Inc. declined 5.02% overnight, trading at $62.34/share, with trading volume of approximately $11.82 million.
The decline extends a pullback pattern following a sharp rally driven by the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement of a $2 billion funding plan for quantum computing companies earlier this week. While peers such as D-Wave Quantum surged 33%, Rigetti Computing rose 31%, and IBM gained 12% on direct inclusion in the program, IonQ was notably absent from the list of funded companies. Prediction market platform Kalshi currently prices IonQ's probability of receiving government equity investment this year at only 32%.
IonQ had rallied over 12% on May 22 on sector-wide momentum and continued rising in subsequent sessions, but has since given back gains as traders reassess the company's positioning relative to direct beneficiaries. The prior session on May 27 also saw a 5.17% decline, suggesting sustained profit-taking pressure.
