Everyone wants to own quantum computing stocks . Companies like IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) are up hundreds of percent in the last year, with the aforementioned stock now at a market cap of $25 billion while generating less than $100 million in revenue. Quantum computing could drive huge gains in productivity if the technology is ever commercialized, but today, IonQ is a highly speculative company with little to no business model. This makes it an incredibly risky stock to own.
Here are two stocks not betting on a speculative science fiction future, but creating value in the present. Both Remitly Global (NASDAQ: RELY) and Portillo's (NASDAQ: PTLO) will be larger than IonQ in five years' time. Here's why you should add them to your portfolio over any quantum computing stock.
Remitly Global has moved in the opposite direction from IonQ in 2025. Shares of the remittance provider are off 42% from highs set earlier in 2025, while IonQ is up 78% year to date (YTD) and just reached a new all-time high.
