Q2 Earnings and Revenue Fall Short of Wall Street Projections

The quantum computing firm posted a net loss of 13 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, falling short of the consensus estimate of 10 cent loss per share. Quarterly revenue remained essentially flat year-over-year at $3.1 million, missing Wall Street projections of $4.03 million.

Operating expenses rose significantly to $55.0 million, up 93% from $28.5 million in the prior-year period, driven by investments in product development and go-to-market strategies.
