IonQ posted record Q3 revenue of $173.8 million, up 336% year-over-year, marking its sixth consecutive record quarter and beating consensus on revenue, GAAP EPS and adjusted EPS. The company raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $505-$515 million and said backlog more than doubled to $1.2 billion in remaining performance obligations. Platform segment revenue rose 127% to $90.3 million, with SkyWater adding $83.5 million in foundry revenue. IonQ was the only trapped-ion company advanced to DARPA's Stage C (potential value up to $300 million), and NVIDIA will deploy a Superion 256 as the first on-premise quantum computer at its Accelerated Quantum Research Center.
