Briefings
D-Wave reported Q3 2026 revenue of $4.5 million, a 21% increase from the prior year, driven by professional services and cloud access sales. Nine-month bookings surged 611% to $37.4 million, though quarterly bookings fell 19% to $1.9 million. The company secured $100 million in CHIPS Act funding and expanded manufacturing with SkyWater, while NTT DOCOMO deployed a hybrid quantum network application. Margins narrowed to 52.9% due to higher service costs.

Context
D-Wave reported Q3 2026 revenue of $4.5 million, a 21% increase from the prior year, driven by professional services and cloud access sales. Nine-month bookings surged 611% to $37.4 million, though quarterly bookings fell 19% to $1.9 million. The company secured $100 million in CHIPS Act funding and expanded manufacturing with SkyWater, while NTT DOCOMO deployed a hybrid quantum network application. Margins narrowed to 52.9% due to higher service costs.
Limitations
Revenue figures are from a quarterly report filed with the SEC; nine-month bookings represent customer orders expected to produce future revenue, not necessarily delivered work. Some data points, such as specific CHIPS funding amounts and the exact number of qubits in the Advantage2 computer, are estimates or projections based on available evidence. The company explicitly stated that larger transactions can cause substantial quarterly variation, limiting the reliability of precise revenue attribution to specific periods.
