Quantum Computing Inc. booked $61,000 in revenue a year ago. It just reported $5.6 million for the same quarter this year, alongside a $73.1 million acquisition it completed without pausing to catch its breath. A France-based software company that helps construction firms manage tender bids just went public through the shell of a company that had lost 96% of its value and hadn’t run an actual business in years.
Quantum Computing Inc. Reports Revenue Surge to $5.6 Million, Closes $73.1 Million Acquisition
Quantum Computing Inc. (Nasdaq: QUBT) reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $5.6 million, up from $61,000 in the year-ago quarter and $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven primarily by photonics product sales to government, educational, and commercial customers. Net loss narrowed to $11.8 million, or $0.05 per share, from $36.5 million a year earlier. The company ended the quarter with $1.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and reported a contract backlog of approximately $42.5 million.
During the quarter QCi completed its third acquisition of 2026, buying advanced packaging foundry NHanced Semiconductors for $73.1 million in cash and stock, plus up to $72.0 million in performance-based earn-outs. The deal accelerates the launch of a second manufacturing facility, Fab 2, adding 3D semiconductor packaging and nanophotonic integration capacity alongside QCi’s existing Fab 1 in Tempe, Arizona. CEO Dr. Yuping Huang tied the results to our strategy of making our quantum products smaller, more practical and more accessible.
Management reaffirmed a standalone 2026 revenue expectation of $20 million to $25 million for QCi excluding NHanced, and said NHanced’s own contribution, estimated at $7 million to $16 million, is likely to be back-end loaded and dependent on delivery timing and customer acceptance; NHanced generated roughly $16 million in revenue in the first half of 2025, and its 2027 earn-out target is $35 million. No formal guidance was issued for the third quarter or full year. QCi’s balance sheet is large by this publication’s usual coverage, with stockholders’ equity of roughly $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2026; readers should weigh that scale against the company’s second consecutive quarter of triple-digit revenue growth from a very small base. CFO Christopher Roberts has sold shares twice in the past six months with no offsetting purchases disclosed.
Aitenders Technologies Lists on CSE, Debuts AI Construction Tender Platform
Aitenders Technologies Inc. (CSE: BIDS) (OTC: EXXBF) received final approval to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange and began trading under the symbol BIDS, following the July 31, 2026 close of a reverse takeover with eXeBlock Technology Corporation, a company that had disclosed no active business operations. Founder and CEO Geoffrey Guilly said the listing marked an incredible milestone as we begin the next phase of our journey as a publicly traded company.
Aitenders, founded in 2019 and based in Saint-Etienne, France, develops an AI-powered platform that automates tender response and contract management for construction and infrastructure projects, and says it serves three of the top five largest construction companies in Europe and North America; it was named to Cemex Ventures’ Top 50 ConTech Startups list for 2026. The company says it built its business without raising venture capital before the listing. Under the RTO, former Aitenders shareholders received 54,000,000 shares at a deemed price of $0.5833 each, leaving roughly 60.9 million shares outstanding before accounting for a concurrent $2.4 million subscription-receipt financing, implying a pro forma valuation in the mid-$30 millions Canadian at the deemed transaction price. Aitenders has not disclosed specific revenue, profit, or loss figures for the business as a standalone company, and the stock has only a few days of actual trading history following years as a non-operating shell that had lost 96% of its value.
