Honeywell-Controlled Quantinuum Looking to Raise Up to $1.21 Billion in IPO

Quantinuum, a quantum computing platform controlled by Honeywell International (HON), is seeking to raise up to $1.21 billion through an initial public offering, according to a filing on Tuesday.

The company plans to offer about 21.1 million class A shares at an estimated price range of $45 to $50 per share, according to a preliminary prospectus filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Underwriters will have a 30-day option to purchase about 3.2 million additional shares.

Based on the top-end of the expected price range, the share sale will raise up to $1.21 billion, assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full' calculations showed.

Quantinuum is looking to list its class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "QNT," according to the filing. It intends to have a dual-class stock structure, with each class A and B share entitling the holder to a single vote.

Following the IPO, Honeywell entities are expected to beneficially own about 49.1% of the combined voting power of Quantinuum's class A and B shares, or 48.5% if the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option, according to the filing.

Quantinuum has customers across pharmaceuticals, materials science, financial services, government and industrial markets, the filing showed.

The company reported a net loss of $192.6 million and net revenue of $30.9 million for 2025, compared with a $144.1 million loss and revenue of $23 million for the prior year. For the first quarter of 2026, it reported a net loss of $136.6 million and net revenue of $5.2 million, compared with a loss of $30.5 million and sales of $19.1 million a year earlier.

Quantinuum had cash and cash equivalents of $677 million at the end of March, compared with $762.6 million at the end of 2025, according to the filing.

The company recently entered into a letter of intent with the US Department of Commerce under the CHIPS Act of 2022, covering an award of up to $100 million, the filing showed.

Shares of Honeywell were up 1.8% intraday Tuesday.

"For (Honeywell) shareholders, the IPO crystallizes the value of a previously embedded asset ahead of the June 29 aerospace separation, which remains the primary near-term catalyst," Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Piccolo said in a note, referring to the spin-off of the unit into a pure-play aerospace and defense company.

If pursued, it would be CVC's third attempt at purchasing the payments company.Mediobanca Banca di Credito Finanziario, JPMorgan and PricewaterhouseCoopers Business Services are assisting CDP Equity as financial advisers for the deal, which remains subject to regulatory clearances.
