-- 摩根士丹利週四發布的一份報告指出，IonQ (IONQ) 的季度營收持續超出預期，成長勢頭強勁，該公司256量子位元里程碑目標仍按計劃推進。 報告稱，IonQ連續第四個季度營收超出預期，其中第一季超出預期31%。 摩根士丹利表示，該公司尚未具體說明業績超預期的原因，但種種跡象顯示其成長動能依然強勁。 分析師也指出，該公司三分之一的營收來自購買多種產品的客戶，這顯示交叉銷售產生了綜效。 摩根士丹利表示，256量子位元系統的研發工作正進入後期系統測試階段，預計年底前完成展示，並於2027年上半年交付。 該公司將2026年營收預期從2.35億美元上調至2.65億美元，並將2027年營收預期從3.8億美元上調至4.01億美元。 摩根士丹利維持對 IonQ 的「持股觀望」評級，並將目標價從 47 美元上調至 48.50 美元。 IonQ 股價週四下跌超過 4%。
