IonQ Raises 2026 Revenue Outlook by About 60%, Majority from SkyWater Acquisition
Quantum computing company IonQ (IONQ) raised its full-year revenue guidance for 2026 to a range of $450 million to $460 million, up from an earlier forecast of $280 million to $290 million. The increase is largely attributed to the recent acquisition of SkyWater Technology, which IonQ completed on July 31. This marks the third time this year that IonQ has raised its revenue outlook for 2026. While previous increases were driven by strong performance in quantum computing, the latest raise reflects the inclusion of SkyWater’s contribution from August onward. The chip foundry is expected to account for most of the $170 million midpoint increase. IonQ's CEO emphasized that while revenue growth was a factor, the acquisition aimed at securing manufacturing capabilities critical to IonQ's quantum computing ambitions. Shares rose nearly 2.4% following the announcement.
