TECHi take
QBTS consensus has a target, but the rating mix still matters.
TECHi Markets Desk · Jun 12, 2026, 7:59 PM EDT
D-Wave Quantum Inc. is not a blank forecast page: TECHi is currently tracking 15 analyst ratings, with consensus at Buy and a rating score of 3.93. That score matters, and dispersion tells you whether this consensus is broad or clustered.
The primary target is $40.00, implying +70.43% from the latest quoted price. TECHi still separates the base target from the bull and bear range because the spread is what tells investors whether analysts agree or are simply clustering around a headline number.
Use the rest of this page to compare the rating split, estimate revisions, and peer forecasts. When target data is available, the same module expands into explicit bull, base, and bear scenarios with the high and low targets shown below.

Analyst consensus
What the street actually thinks right now.
QBTS currently has 15 analyst entries with a live Wall Street consensus score of 3.93 (Buy) .
Dispersion score: 0.44 · Strong Consensus Alignment.
Adjusted score for spread: 3.72 · used to reduce false certainty when recommendations are split.
Consensus read: Lopsided bullish
Signal-vs-consensus divergence
QBTS current TECHi Signal stance against analyst consensus.
Consensus: 3.93 (Buy) · Signal: 2.96 (Balanced watch) · gap -0.97 on the 1-5 scale
Dispersion reliability: usable. If consensus is split, a small gap is still meaningful, while a wide gap usually means framing differences.
TECHi Signal is more cautious than consensus.
TECHi Signal can diverge from consensus on 3M+ horizons because it blends data snapshots, governance signals, leadership quality, and quant scores (Altman Z, ROIC, Rule of 40, FCF yield) alongside standard analyst inputs.
