IonQ shares jumped 21% on April 14 after securing a DARPA contract, closing at $42.25 and extending gains after-hours to $44.94. Rep. Greg Steube, with classified quantum access, bought shares in March, raising market attention. The broader quantum computing theme gained 8.48% driven by pure-play stocks despite bearish cuts on peers' price targets.
