Summary

  • Quantinuum rose in early trading after Morgan Stanley lifted the stock to buy, arguing the quantum-computing name now offers better value after a 45% retreat in 2026.
  • Morgan Stanley cited Quantinuum's valuation versus other quantum stocks, along with confidence in its technology road map and operating execution.
  • The upgrade stood out because QNT gained even as AI infrastructure shares sold off amid financing issues at CoreWeave.
  • Morgan Stanley kept IonQ at equal-weight, underscoring a more selective stance within the quantum-computing sector.
