Why Did IonQ Stock Bounce Back Today?

IonQ stock rebounded 10.5% after a 21.2% crash the previous week driven by broader market concerns rather than company-specific bad news. The sell-off was triggered by Broadcom's warning on AI chip sales and a strong employment report that reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. While IonQ has sufficient cash currently, the company faces long-term pressure from high interest rates as it burns through ~$900 million in cash over the next few years and remains unprofitable.
