$IONQ : Dilution, Revenue Growth, and Profitability โ What the Numbers Actually Show
I've seen plenty of arguments that IonQ's revenue growth is meaningless because of acquisitions, increasing dilution, and the consolidation of foundry revenue. Others argue that once costs are considered, there's little left.
That's exactly why I put these three charts together.
1๏ธโฃ Dilution vs. Growth
From Q3 2025 to Q3 2026, outstanding shares increased 25.7%, but revenue per share surged 246.9%.
In other words, revenue growth has significantly outpaced dilution.
2๏ธโฃ Revenue vs. Losses
Costs and absolute losses are still rising substantially. However, revenue is covering an increasing proportion of the adjusted cost burden.
Adjusted EBITDA loss coverage improved from 44.9% to 56.5%.
3๏ธโฃ Gross Margin
Here's the important counterpoint: gross margin excluding D&A declined from 46.7% to 21.9%.
So while revenue growth and loss coverage are improving, gross margin is moving in the opposite direction.
This is why IonQ's increasing emphasis on cloud and software is particularly important, given their potential for higher margins.
These numbers don't eliminate concerns about organic growth, acquisitions, or profitability. But they show that dilution alone doesn't tell the whole story.
The next question is whether IonQ can turn this rapid growth into sustainable margins and cash flow.
$IONQ can now be bought the way agencies buy IT
IonQ announced a strategic partnership with Carahsoft in its November 5 earnings results. The November 9 release, issued by Carahsoft Technology Corp., adds how that buying channel works.
Carahsoft will serve as IonQ's Public Sector distributor. Government agencies can buy IonQ technology through Carahsoft's reseller partners, using the purchasing contracts they already have, with Carahsoft handling procurement, pricing, channel sales and distribution. The agreement covers computing, networking, security and sensing.
Steve Harris, IonQ Senior Vice President and General Manager, Public Sector, said the partnership reaches "the entire Public Sector, including higher education, State, Local Government, Department of War, civilian and the integrator and partner community."
On the earnings call, Inder Singh, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of IonQ, said that with Elisity, which closed on November 4, IonQ can "now deliver an even more complete portfolio of solutions in the quantum cybersecurity space." Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO, said Elisity adds Zero Trust, a check on every user and device, to IonQ's PQC and QKD tools: encryption built for a quantum-capable attacker, and keys carried by light. He also said "the urgency of this transition is underscored by June 22nd White House Executive Orders."
The Carahsoft release points to Executive Order 14413, signed June 22, "Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation." The order calls for a "whole-of-government approach to accelerate deployment and commercialization of quantum computing, sensing, and networking," and for partnerships with United States industry.
Agencies can now buy IonQ's computing, networking, security and sensing products through that channel, including the security portfolio described at earnings once Elisity had closed.
