IonQ's stock rose 23% after its Q4 and full-year earnings report topped expectations, giving it a year-over-year gain of 54%. The quantum computer manufacturer, which builds quantum computers, reported $61.9 million in revenue for Q4, a 429% growth year over year, and $130 million for full year 2025, up 202%. Management noted that Q4 revenue was 55% above the midpoint of its own implied range, and full year revenue was 20% above its own midpoint. The company also highlighted its expanding commercial traction, with over 60% of its revenue coming from commercial customers.

In addition, IonQ was selected under the Missile Defense Agency’s SHIELD IDIQ contract, with a ceiling of $151 billion.
