Quantum computing stocks like IonQ, D-Wave, and Rigetti dropped 5-6% due to a spike in long-term Treasury yields hitting 19-year highs. These companies, valued on future cash flows, are sensitive to rising rates which reduce the present value of their distant earnings. The sell-off also follows tempered AI revenue expectations from Anthropic and OpenAI, leading investors to reassess long-term AI investments. Software stocks held steady, while hardware and semiconductor sectors bore the brunt. Investors should watch Treasury yields and upcoming earnings reports for further direction.
