On August 3, IONQ Inc. rose 5.21% in regular trading, trading at $39.09/share, with turnover of $235 million.

On the news front, IonQ formally completed its acquisition of SkyWater Technology last week, with SkyWater now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary. The company announced on July 29 that it had received final regulatory approval, and the transaction officially closed the following Friday. SkyWater shareholders had previously approved the deal at a special meeting in May, which at the time drove IonQ shares up nearly 15% and lifted the broader quantum computing sector.

The acquisition marks the formal execution of IonQ's strategy to vertically integrate manufacturing capabilities within quantum computing. Market recognition of this supply chain consolidation continues to support upward price momentum, extending gains from the prior session as the transaction moved from approval to completion.
