Questions about IONQ
What people ask.
Why is IONQ on Broken Stocks?
IONQ qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -49.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $84.64, set on 2025-10-13 — 270d ago.
Is IONQ a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. IONQ is down -49.4% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 270d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. IONQ is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is IONQ a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is IONQ trading inside its 52-week range?
At $42.86, IONQ sits 36.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($18.81) to its 52-week high ($84.64). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has IONQ been declining?
The current 49.4% decline accrued over 270d, which annualizes to roughly -66.8% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does IONQ compare to its sector?
There are 196 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 119 Red, 46 Amber, 31 Watch, with 71 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -39.4% — IONQ's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does IONQ's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-02-25) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
