Analyst Sees IonQ Stock Doubling on 256-Qubit System and 99.99% Fidelity

Summary
IonQ shares could double over the next year, the analyst says, if the company’s early-2027 product rollout revives investor interest after the stock fell about 60% from its peak.
A 256-qubit system due in early 2027 underpins that call, pairing one of the largest available machines with IonQ’s 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity—roughly one error per 10,000 operations.
That combination targets quantum computing’s two main bottlenecks: insufficient accuracy for commercial use and too little computing power for real-world workloads.
IonQ already has a handful of preorders for the system, while the analyst says successful deployment could spur broader customer demand as companies prepare for wider quantum adoption.
Revenue growth also supports the bullish case: IonQ says organic growth is running at 100% or more, even though recent reported gains were helped by acquisitions.
