Time-Sensitive: QBTS fell 9.28% and then 9.51% in August 2026 as a quantum computing securities action alleges D-Wave failed to disclose that its overstated growth messaging was reasonably likely to harm its business and reputation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) of a pending securities class action. Class Period: February 26, 2026 through August 25, 2026. Check if you might be eligible to recover your investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.
QBTS shares fell 9.28% on August 6, 2026, after the Company reported second quarter revenue nearly $1 million below analyst expectations. Shares then declined another 9.51% on August 26, 2026, following the announced retirement and resignation of the Company's chief financial officer. The Court has set December 15, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.
The Alleged Momentum Representations
The lawsuit asserts that on February 26, 2026, management described 2025 as "one of the most successful and transformative years in D-Wave's history," cited "over $30 million in Bookings in January alone," and stated that "2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for D-Wave." On May 12, 2026, management credited "strong execution, expanding commercial adoption, and differentiated technology leadership," along with a "record-setting $10 million quantum computing as a service agreement with a Fortune 100 company."
As alleged, this messaging materially overstated D-Wave's business and financial prospects and set expectations that later results did not support.
Reputational Risk in Quantum Computing Securities: What the Action Claims Was Omitted
- The action claims D-Wave failed to disclose that overstating its business and financial prospects was reasonably likely to negatively impact both its business and its reputation.
- The February 2026 messaging also promoted the acquisition of Quantum Circuits, Inc. and a new business unit dedicated to U.S. government adoption.
- Second quarter 2026 revenue of $3.08 million, reported August 6, 2026, trailed the $4.03 million to $4.08 million analysts expected.
- Investors who bought during the Class Period allegedly paid prices that did not reflect the reputational exposure created by the overstated outlook.
"Investors deserve transparency about material risks that could affect their investments. The complaint alleges shareholders were told D-Wave was entering 2026 with 'exceptional momentum' without being told that overstating those prospects was reasonably likely to damage the Company's business and reputation," stated Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
