What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of IONQ's valuation, growth and risks.

Valuation

IONQ's P/S of 35.05 is 361.2% above the sector median P/S of 7.6. To put its size in context, the company has a market value of $13.3B.

The business earns a net margin of 67.09% and an operating margin of -226.53% and a return on equity of 6.90%, below the sector median of 13.4%. Debt-to-equity of 0.03 rounds out the fundamentals.

Earnings & Growth

In its latest quarterly report, on November 5, 2026, IONQ reported $1.35 a share against a -$0.79 estimate, a better result than analysts expected. The share price rose 23.42% in the first session after the report.

The earnings record shows 1 beat in 4 reports, and the stock rose in the first session after each of those beats. Earlier, the stock fell 9.30% after the May 6, 2026 report, a miss of 41.67%. Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is -$4.08, and -$3.14 for next year.

Key risks

Measured as a typical daily move, IONQ shifts 6.76%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 3.41. Staying under both moving averages keeps the downtrend in place, which is a risk in its own right. The price is 52.49% below the 52-week high of $73.65.

  1. Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA at $36.76 sits above the price, and the 20-day EMA at $32.76 sits beneath it.
  2. The 14-day RSI reads 53.1, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
  3. Following the November 5, 2026 report, shares climbed 23.42% in the first session. Over the last 4 reports, IONQ has beaten estimates in 1 of them.
Market outlook

The downtrend stays in place while IONQ is below both its 50-day average at $36.76 and its 200-day average at $41.44; a close back above the 50-day would be the first step of a repair. The 50-day SMA at $36.76 is the first hurdle overhead.

To the downside, the first level the price meets is the 20-day EMA at $32.76.
