Total revenue climbed 116% year-over-year, driven entirely by quantum. Infleqtion said it generated $13.2 million in cash from operations during the second quarter and ended the period with $582 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale securities and no debt.

“Q2 was a record quarter for Infleqtion, and the pace of quantum commercialization is accelerating,” said Matt Kinsella, chief executive officer of Infleqtion. “Governments are putting dates and dollars behind quantum, and we are building applications with customers now as they prepare for the next generation of quantum systems.”

However, Infleqtion’s operating losses tripled year-over-year to $30.6 million, compared with $10 million in the same period in 2025.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for INFQ jumped to ‘bullish’ from ‘bearish’ over the past 24 hours, while message volume was ‘high’ at the time of writing.
