As quantum computing investors eagerly await the latest updates from leading firms in the industry that will come with the second-quarter earnings release period in August, the threat of emerging names is real.
This is particularly the case given that some of those top pure-play quantum names have faced punishing share-price pullbacks that have remained stubborn throughout the summer. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is one of those firms, with returns totaling over -32% year to date (YTD) and a fairly steady downward trajectory since early June.
