AI Summary

5.0
Neutral

IonQ's investment case is now a platform-consolidation bet—backlog conversion and SkyWater-enabled vertical integration could create a defensible quantum infrastructure business, but investors should wait for recurring revenue and gross-margin improvement to outpace heavy cash burn, dilution, and integration risk.
