8. IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ)

IonQ dropped its share prices by 5.53 percent on Tuesday to close at $77.55 apiece after successfully raising $2 billion from a share sale program that resulted in the dilution of existing stocks.

In a statement late last week, IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) said the program covered 16.5 million shares at a price of $93 apiece, pre-funded warrants to purchase more than 5 million shares for the same offer price, which represented a 20 percent premium over its closing price on October 9, 2025.

Additionally, IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) offered seven-year warrants to buy 43 million additional shares at $155 each if the stock goes that high by the maturity date.

(NYSE:IONQ) Chairman and CEO Niccolo de Masi said.

“With our accelerated technology roadmap, world-renowned talent, and robust net cash position, we have strengthened our unique position. We believe this is the largest common-stock single-institutional investment in the history of the quantum industry.
