88articles on results day, the busiest day

In short

D-Wave gave the market good news for two weeks. The coverage told a different story: it ran mostly on investor sites, a third of it was law-firm notices, and on results day the headlines led with the loss.

  1. 35% of D-Wave news was lawsuit notices. 179 of 515 articles, most repeating a December 15 deadline.
  2. The CHIPS Act award made 16% of results stories. Revenue, the stock and the loss came first.
  3. None of six announcements reached major business media. Stride travelled furthest: 47 articles on 26 sites.
  4. One D-Wave story in three also named IonQ or Rigetti. IonQ led social conversation.

Results and a lawsuit filled the news

We gave every article one main topic. Coverage of the results and law-firm notices about a class action took the same share. Products, customers and research together took one article in seven.

Lawsuit notices, every single day

Law firms published notices inviting investors to join a class action against D-Wave. On quiet days they were half of D-Wave's news. Counted with the rest, they make a company's coverage look bigger than it is.

179notices on 30 websites. Most repeat one date: December 15, the deadline to apply.

D-Wave and its rivals

D-Wave had the most news articles only because of the lawsuit notices. Without them IonQ had more, and IonQ led social conversation outright.

1 in 3D-Wave stories also named IonQ or Rigetti. The press often covers the three as one group.

Not every quantum computer is a threat to your wallet. Advantage2 is built to solve optimization problems, not to crack signatures. Worth knowing which is which.

$QBTS One of the cleanest before and afters you'll see. Price is down 58% since the post below and is now sitting at the 0.786 fib and 200WMA confluence. I'd be happy buying a very small position here given earnings is coming up on the 10th.

What comms teams can take from this

Six lessons that follow from the numbers above, for any company whose news is read mostly by investors.

  1. Put the best number first

    The CHIPS Act award reached 16% of results stories. Reporters repeat what comes first in a release.

  2. Count lawsuit notices separately

    They can be a third of a company's news. Report coverage with and without them.

  3. Take customer stories to major media

    The LG CNS and Shionogi stories stayed on investor and trade sites.

  4. Give the CEO a voice

    Alan Baratz was named in 14 of 515 articles.

  5. Explain what makes you different

    One story in three grouped D-Wave with IonQ and Rigetti. The most-liked post explained the difference.

  6. Write lines traders can repeat

    Market-news accounts reached twelve times more people than the company's own post.
