Why now
Computer Hardware · market cap $13.0b. Down 59% from 52-week high of $84.64 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +202% — in hypergrowth territory. PEG 0.44 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $69.11 (implying +99% upside).
Moat
Turnaround / out-of-favor name — GAAP-unprofitable for now, so the durability case is forward-looking: it rests on a recovery (margin normalization, a cyclical upturn or restructuring) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than on current reported results.
Risk
Free cash flow is negative (-$424m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Trailing P/E 89.2x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Down 59% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $69.11 (12-analyst consensus) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $120.87 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $306.52 — return distribution heavily skewed.

IonQ, Inc. (IONQ): score, valuation & FAQ

IonQ, Inc. (IONQ) is a Computer Hardware company that scores 52.3 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A), D/E (A) and PEG (A), while P/S (D) and FCF (F) rate weaker.

Is IONQ a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores IONQ 52.3 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by Rev (A), D/E (A) and PEG (A). A score is a quantitative screen of IonQ, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does IONQ score 52.3 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). IONQ earns its highest marks on Rev (A), D/E (A) and PEG (A), and is held back by P/S (D) and FCF (F). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is IONQ overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for IONQ — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in IONQ?

Free cash flow is negative (-$424m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Trailing P/E 89.2x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Down 59% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
