D-Wave Quantum is trading 4.74% down at $19.88 after broad pre-market risk aversion pressured growth-sensitive technology stocks.

  • Nasdaq futures are down 1.29%, and the decline appears market-driven rather than tied to a new negative company announcement.
  • On August 18, 2026, D-Wave Quantum announced that NTT DOCOMO deployed a second production quantum-computing application, reducing peak location-registration signals by 65.3% and paging signals by 7.0%.
