Questions about QBTS
What people ask.
Why is QBTS on Broken Stocks?
QBTS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -59.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $46.75, set on 2025-10-15 — 309d ago.
Is QBTS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. QBTS is down -59.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 309d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. QBTS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is QBTS 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 QBTS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $18.81, QBTS sits 17.8% of the way from its 52-week low ($12.75) to its 52-week high ($46.75). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has QBTS been declining?
The current 59.8% decline accrued over 309d, which annualizes to roughly -70.6% 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 QBTS compare to its sector?
There are 239 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 147 Red, 50 Amber, 42 Watch, with 65 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.7% — QBTS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does QBTS'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 (2026-08-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
