Quantum computing pure-plays got hit hard this week. IONQ fell roughly 7%, QBTS (D-Wave) dropped 8%, and both RGTI (Rigetti) and QUBT (Quantum Computing Inc) plunged around 10%. The Quantinuum IPO which was supposed to be a sector catalyst opened strong at $68 and slid toward $62, showing early hype was already priced in. The sector-wide selloff follows the broader tech rout and a liquidity rotation into the SpaceX IPO on June 12. Rigetti trades at 592x price-to-sales and D-Wave at 606x, leaving almost no room for any disappointment.

Quantinuum opening at $68 and sliding to $62 on day one is not a disaster but it is a disappointment. The IPO was supposed to lift the whole sector and instead it drained liquidity from the pure-plays

592x and 606x price-to-sales for Rigetti and D-Wave is indefensible on any traditional valuation framework. These are venture bets dressed up as public equities

QTUM ETF only dipped 0.2% while individual names dropped 7-10%. That spread tells you this is concentrated retail selling in the high-beta names, not institutional de-risking of the sector

D-Wave bookings up 2,000% to $33.4 million is genuinely impressive. That is future revenue being locked in. The stock price today has nothing to do with the business

The SpaceX IPO on June 12 is pulling capital out of everything high-beta this week. Why hold speculative quantum names when the biggest IPO in history is seven days away
