The completion of the SkyWater Acquisition could prompt some customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords and other partners of IonQ, Inc. or SkyWater to terminate or reduce their current or planned engagements, wary of heightened dependence on a single combined provider. Should these counterparties scale back or exit, and should IonQ lose the benefits of SkyWater’s existing contracts, its operational resilience and overall financial performance may be materially weakened.

The average IONQ stock price target is $69.44, implying 63.27% upside potential.
