$IonQ 📊 VALUATION ANALYSIS: IonQ’s $16.7B market cap may significantly undervalue its strategic asset base

An institutional-grade analysis reveals intellectual property, government contracts, and vertical integration creating assets potentially worth multiples of current valuation.

Key metrics examined:

• 900+ patent portfolio across quantum stack
• $300M+ government contracts pipeline
• $3.95B acquisition spend building unique platform
• 62% institutional ownership with recent accumulation
• DMEA Category 1A trusted foundry access (only quantum company)

This thread breaks down each asset class with comparable valuations and explains why IonQ’s strategic positioning creates defensible competitive moats that may not be fully reflected in current price.
