Quantinuum raises 2026 revenue outlook after record bookings

The Nasdaq-listed quantum computing company lifted its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $31 million to $34 million after reporting third-quarter revenue of $9.05 million, a 233% increase from the same period a year earlier.

The upgrade followed record customer bookings, with the company forecasting fiscal 2026 bookings above $120 million and targeting more than 100% revenue growth in 2027.

The largest deal was a multiyear cloud extension with a major global financial institution, granting the bank access to Quantinuum’s planned fault-tolerant Apollo system, which is expected to launch in 2029 through the Nexus platform.

Quantinuum’s forward-looking figures are ambitious, with bookings several times larger than its revenue guidance, suggesting a pipeline of future sales.

The company’s developer platform, Nexus, saw adoption rise by nearly 20% quarter-over-quarter to 215 organizations, while its Helios system recently set back-to-back world records for logical fidelity.

Customer adoption is spreading across finance, pharmaceuticals, energy and logistics, with cash reserves of approximately $1.94 billion at the end of the third quarter.

For investors, the guidance raise is the most concrete signal, as raising forecasts mid-year after signing a marquee financial customer suggests demand is not just theoretical.

The next few quarters should clarify whether bookings clear the $120 million forecast, whether Nexus keeps adding organizations at a similar clip, and whether more large enterprises sign up for access to fault-tolerant hardware before it ships.
