Quantum Computing (QUBT) Drops 17.5%. Here's Why

Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT) is one of the stocks drowned heavily. Are you holding any?

Quantum Computing declined by 17.5 percent week-on-week as investors disposed of positions amid the lack of catalysts to boost buying.

Quantum Computing Inc.’s (NASDAQ:QUBT) performance last week suggested that investors may have already priced in its recent inclusion in two Russell indices, and were already waiting for more leads to spark buying.

Effective on June 30, Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT) is now an official component of the Russell 3000 Index and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index, expanding its visibility among institutional investors.

The Russell 3000 Index includes the largest 3,000 US public companies by market capitalization, while the Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the broader Russell 3000 Index limited to small-cap companies. Both indices are reconstituted annually by re-ranking companies based on total market capitalization as of the reconstitution rank date, which was April 30, 2025, this year.
