 A Message From Banyan Hill Publishing Dear Reader, Here's a question almost nobody is asking: What does America get in return? A powerful Middle Eastern government is reportedly seeking U.S. help against Iran-backed forces. American intelligence. Targeting assistance. Military protection. But why? Why should the United States put its military power behind another government? That's precisely why this latest development stopped me cold. Because on January 7th… During a private meeting just outside Washington, D.C… My anonymous source told me that military protection was one side of an extraordinary bargain. And on the other side? Something potentially worth trillions of dollars to America. I can't reveal my source. His family connections make that impossible. But I could investigate what he told me… And I uncovered a trail involving Trump… Iran… A powerful Middle Eastern government… And what could become one of the biggest economic deals in decades. Click here to see what America may be getting in return. Once you know the identity of the government involved… The Iran headlines begin to look very different. And so do the potential investment opportunities. Go here to uncover the massive deal behind the military protection. Regards,

What Might It Take for D-Wave to Reset Its Course?Reported by Nathan Reiff. Posted: 9/14/2026. 
Key Points
- D-Wave Quantum shares have fallen about 40% since Jan. 1, 2026, as investors demand measurable commercial success beyond technological hype.
- The company's Q2 2026 revenue of $3.1 million missed expectations of $4 million, driven by sporadic sales concentrated among few clients.
- Despite a $100 million Department of Commerce award and strong bookings, D-Wave must show accelerating recurring revenue to satisfy impatient investors.

2026 has been marked by periods of significant momentum for quantum computing giant D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS), driven by strong investor enthusiasm surrounding the technology's growing commercial adoption. However, a more dominant theme this year may be D-Wave's seemingly persistent decline, which has ultimately led shares to fall about 40% since Jan. 1. Late summer has brought renewed skepticism as investors reassess D-Wave's financial performance and consider how the company compares with other quantum computing firms in a highly competitive environment.
To be sure, QBTS shares remain well above where they traded just a few years ago. However, the recent correction highlights a major challenge for the firm: Investors want to see measurable commercial success to accompany promising technological advancements and hype. To reverse course and return to an upward share price trajectory, D-Wave will likely need to demonstrate meaningful revenue acceleration, expanding gross margins, expense control and strong product execution. Some of these goals may be more achievable than others. Last Month's Drop Erases Earlier GainsWith shares down 17% over the last month, D-Wave has lost a significant portion of its gains this year. The major catalyst for this recent weakness was the firm's Q2 2026 earnings report, which noted disappointing revenue of $3.1 million, below the estimated $4 million and representing a year-over-year decline of just under 1%. This came even as many other quantum firms saw triple-digit improvement over the same period. A closer look reveals legitimate reasons for the quarterly revenue slump—namely, anticipated customer deals failed to close or be recorded during the quarter. This suggests that D-Wave's sales remain sporadic and concentrated among a small number of clients. Nonetheless, the market was unwilling to look beyond the disappointing results and punished the stock accordingly. D-Wave Is Still Very Promising, But Investors May Be ImpatientJust a few quarters ago, quantum computing firms tended to rise and fall closely in line with one another, as enthusiasm over one company's achievements carried over to the share prices of its rivals. Now, however, the industry is expanding, and the companies are increasingly separating themselves from one another. When a rival like IonQ Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) can post stellar earnings results while D-Wave investors have to search for bright spots in a quarterly report, the market rewards the winner. While this does not change the fact that D-Wave's bookings, cash position and many other metrics remain strong, the divergence illustrates that the shift taking place in the quantum industry is real. Recurring revenue, growing sales, commercial traction, improving financial visibility and disciplined spending are all ways companies in the industry can now distinguish themselves. How D-Wave May Use Its AdvantagesD-Wave has several important competitive advantages. Its quantum annealing strategy may lend itself to a wide range of optimization-focused commercial applications. Its dual approach, which also involves more traditional gate-model technology, provides crucial diversification in an R&D race whose final outcome no one can predict with certainty. Still, technological differentiation alone is not enough to keep investors satisfied at this point. Instead, the company needs to find ways—most likely through future quarterly reports—to show hard evidence of financial progress. In recent weeks, there have been some potentially promising signs, including an announcement from the U.S. Department of Commerce that D-Wave could receive up to $100 million as part of a broader investment in the quantum computing industry. Government funding could provide numerous benefits, not only by supplying non-dilutive capital for D-Wave's many R&D initiatives but also by offering external validation of the company's technological and operational successes to date. It will not immediately transform the company's financials, but it may nonetheless accelerate some of its goals while strengthening customer confidence in the firm. Perhaps the single biggest factor for D-Wave is accelerating quarterly revenue. Closing long-term contracts is all well and good, but to achieve greater consistency, the firm may be best served by demonstrating recurring revenue, either through subscription sales for its cloud-based products or through larger, multiyear contracts with more predictable payment schedules. Analysts remain bullish on QBTS stock overall, and shares have massive upside potential based on consensus price estimates. However, that potential may not be enough without hard evidence of sales success to support it and demonstrate that D-Wave is keeping pace with its competitors in the industry.
