Indeed, <strong>the company announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/pratt.duke.edu\/about\/news\/quantum-computing-gate-ionq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">major breakthrough<\/a> in February when it claimed to have developed a new quantum gate<\/strong>, allowing it to more efficiently operate multiple qubits at once, speeding up a number of key fundamental algorithms used in quantum computing.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Although IONQ is still in the first phase of its business road map, the company has the support of some pretty illustrious backers. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/stocks\/sp500\/amzn\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/stocks\/sp500\/goog\">Google<\/a> are already on-board as key investors, and the firm boasts Hyundai and <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/stocks\/sp500\/gs\">Goldman Sachs<\/a> as customers too.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>In fact, IonQ\u2019s technology is the only quantum hardware used by all major cloud providers, including <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/stocks\/sp500\/msft\">Microsoft Azure<\/a>, AWS and the Google Cloud Platform.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/widget\/charts\/MSFT?periodGrouping=daily&amp;defaultSeries=candlesticks\" width=\"720\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>While there remain some big obstacles before quantum computing goes mainstream, analysts expect the industry to grow at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/Market-Reports\/quantum-computing-market-144888301.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CAGR of 30.2%<\/a> for the next few years.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>In fact, IONQ believes the industry will be worth $65 billion by 2030 &#8211; which is great news for investors, especially since the company\u2019s technology is so far ahead of anything else on the market. For example, trapped-ion qubit platforms can perform at room temperature, have the <a href=\"https:\/\/s28.q4cdn.com\/828571518\/files\/doc_presentation\/2022\/March-2022-Investor-Updates_v09.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">longest qubit lifetime<\/a>, and are highly-connected and perfectly isolated from outside environmental effects.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/investors.ionq.com\/financials\/quarterly-results\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IonQ recently reported its earnings results<\/a> for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, with the company making a remarkable <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.ionq.com\/news\/news-details\/2022\/IonQ-Announces-Full-Year-2021-Financial-Results-and-Provides-Business-Update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">115% beat<\/a> on its total contract bookings, while outperforming revenue expectations to bring in $1.6 million in top-line cash.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The firm also tripled its initial bookings target for 2021, and, on the back of these positive numbers, upwardly revised its 2022 financial outlook. <strong>At between $10.2 million and $10.7 million, IonQ now anticipates its annual revenue to be 5x what it was for the previous period<\/strong>, with bookings for the first quarter to be worth somewhere above $3 million too.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>IonQ is making huge strides in its technological achievements, tackling issues such as error correction while also reducing the size of its modular architecture. These improvements are likely to scale at an exponential rate, meaning that commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/blog\/investing\/ionq-stock-prediction\">quantum computing<\/a> could be a reality far sooner than anyone could possibly predict.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1471295253337-3ceaaedca402?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=1168&amp;q=80\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"417\"><\/div>\n<div><em>Source: Unsplash<\/em><\/div>\n<h2>Genius Sports<\/h2>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/blog\/investing\/is-genius-sports-stock-a-buy\">Genius Sports<\/a> is a data and technology company that markets and develops products and services mainly tailored to the sports and sports betting industries.

The company thrived at the beginning of 2021, reaching share price highs of over $25. Lately, however, it\u2019s all been downhill.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The stock tanked toward the end of last year, when, despite hitting a record revenue high for the period of $69 million, a less-than-stellar <a href=\"https:\/\/s27.q4cdn.com\/552951210\/files\/doc_financials\/2021\/q3\/GSL-Q3-Earnings-Press-Release-vFF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third quarter earnings miss<\/a> conspired to suck the optimism out of investor sentiment. Its EBITDA-based losses of $322 million meant a loss per share of $0.37, compared to the predicted loss of just $0.12. The firm lost 67% of its value in the interim, and now sits close to its all-time low of $4.60.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/widget\/charts\/GENI?periodGrouping=daily&amp;defaultSeries=candlesticks\" width=\"720\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>But the company does show some signs of an imminent recovery.<strong> In its latest Q4 <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.geniussports.com\/financials\/quarterly-results\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earnings call, GENI<\/a> reported <a href=\"https:\/\/s27.q4cdn.com\/552951210\/files\/doc_financials\/2021\/q4\/GENI-FY21-Earnings-Press-Release-vFF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a massive 79% increase in revenues<\/a>, beating analyst estimates by $3.29 million with a top-line of $84.01 million<\/strong>. The firm even cut its loss per share to $0.28, although this did miss the Wall Street consensus by $0.06.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Still, the company appears to be on the right path. Genius already has a large number of key business relationships with most of the major players in the sports world, including the PGA Tour, England\u2019s Premier League, and the jewel in the crown, the NFL. Indeed, <strong>97% of the US gaming market gets its <a href=\"https:\/\/sportshandle.com\/genius-2021-q3-earnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL data exclusively through GENI<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>However, one unusual tailwind for Genius could be last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hindenburgresearch.com\/draftkings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">damning Hindenburg Research report<\/a> on the betting company DraftKings. <a href=\"https:\/\/financhill.com\/stocks\/nasdaq\/dkng\">DraftKings<\/a> is a user of GENI\u2019s software services, and, any damage to that firm\u2019s reputation could also have a knock-on effect to the entire industry as well.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>That said, Genius is a well-diversified company when it comes to clients, and has been adding more customers to its roster recently. Indeed, group revenue for the firm was up 75% in FY 2021 at $262.7 million, with another 20 new or renewed data and streaming deals on its books in the fourth quarter.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>After a bad few months, the future\u2019s finally looking bright for Genius Sports.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not always true that young, rapidly expanding companies have to be expensive.
