IonQ reports Q1 EPS (19c), consensus (25c)

Reports Q1 revenue $7.6M, consensus $7.1M. “We kicked the year off with strong revenue results, once again outperforming the high end of our guidance range,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO of IonQ. “I am also pleased to announce that our sales pipeline is expanding significantly in deal size and volume and increasing in timing visibility, allowing us to raise our full year bookings guidance. The first quarter also saw several institutions, both public and private, use the power of our quantum computers to explore new projects. The start of the year also saw Oak Ridge National Labs, a returning client, begin research on a use case around energy schedule optimization for the United States national power grid. We believe we will continue to see new use cases unfold as our technology approaches commercial advantage.”
