5 Quantum Computing Stocks Investors Should Be Watching in 2027
Key PointsGovernment support will be a major swing factor, and several of these companies are counting on funding agreements that have not yet closed.
The quantum computing sector transitioned from a niche laboratory interest to a market with companies valued in the billions following a wave of public listings and mergers in 2026. Companies in this space either build quantum computers or manufacture the necessary components, such as chips, lasers, and security tools. According to Nasdaq Markets, government support will be a significant factor for these companies, as several are relying on funding agreements that have not yet been finalized.
Quantum Computing Inc. has evolved from a software operation into a business that performs chip manufacturing and offers foundry services for thin-film lithium niobate chips, which use light pulses to increase signal speed and reduce heat. The Motley Fool reports that the company's first-quarter revenue rose from $39,000 to $3.7 million, a jump it attributed to the acquisition of Luminar Semiconductor.
While the company held approximately $1.3 billion in cash and investments as of its last quarterly report, investors may be concerned that much of its growth is driven by acquisitions, noting the company has spent about $180 million in cash.
