Quantum Cyber Receives Blackmail Threat, Continues Lawsuit

Quantum Cyber disclosed that it has received what the company views as a "blackmail-style threat," delivered by an unsolicited email dated August 14, from Adam Gefvert, a named defendant in the lawsuit the company filed on August 10 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against White Diamond Research, Gefvert and Stocktwits. The company said, "In the email, sent through an email address affiliated with the Company, Mr. Gefvert proposed that if the Company were to drop its defamation lawsuit, he would agree not to publish any further report on Quantum Cyber or on any company associated with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, David Lazar. In Mr. Gefvert's own words: "if the lawsuit is dropped, i won't publish anything on QUCY or any company of David Lazar's again." Mr. Gefvert continued, promising that if his offer was rejected and the Company "go[es] forward with the lawsuit, i will publish a 2nd report on QUCY," which he indicated would be directed at Mr. Lazar personally and at other individuals affiliated with the Company. The Company is disclosing the substance of Mr. Gefvert's email so that shareholders and the broader market can evaluate for themselves the nature of the conduct at issue. In the Company's view, an offer by a self-identified short-seller to withhold future negative publications on the Company and on other companies associated with its Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for the withdrawal of a pending defamation and market-manipulation lawsuit, is not the conduct of an independent research analyst - it is, in the Company's view, coercive in nature and blackmail-style in effect. The Company believes it confirms, on its face, that short-seller reporting is being used as leverage rather than as objective analysis. The Company intends to proceed with the pending litigation. Quantum Cyber will not withdraw its complaint, will not modify its claims in exchange for a promise of editorial silence, and intends to prosecute the case to its conclusion. The Company further intends to place Mr. Gefvert's August 14, 2026 email into the record of the proceeding, as it believes the correspondence is directly relevant to the claims and to the state of mind of the defendants..."

As part of an Eaton award from the Air Force Research Laboratory, Infleqtion received a subcontract to apply quantum computing hardware to support grid contingency analysis. Infleqtion and Eaton aim to advance reliability analysis used by utilities to predict and prevent cascading power outages.LAWSUIT:Quantum Cyberannounced that it has filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against White Diamond Research, Adam Gefvert and Stocktwits. The complaint asserts causes of action for market manipulation and conspiracy to commit market manipulation under New York General Business Law Section 339, and for defamation, seeking damages over $5.69M, together with exemplary damages. The company said, "As alleged in the complaint, on or about June 29, 2026, White Diamond published a report concerning the Company that contained false, misleading, and disparaging statements about the Company's business and its Chief Executive Officer. The complaint alleges that White Diamond markets itself publicly as "an Independent institutional-grade research" firm, while burying on a tertiary webpage on its own site it discloses that White Diamond "along with its clients, affiliates, and related entities, may have a short position in the securities discussed and stand to realize significant gains in the event that the price of the stock declines." The complaint further alleges, that both White Diamond and Mr. Gefvert likely profited from the effects of the report through short positions in QUCY. The complaint further alleges that Stocktwits, which the Company had retained to disseminate its business and press releases, made a deliberate editorial decision to publish and amplify the White Diamond report through the "News" section of its platform to its more than five million registered users, and subsequently pushed the content onto Apple Stocks and Yahoo! Finance, making it available to hundreds of millions of additional readers. According to the complaint, at no point in its publication, dissemination, or accompanying commentary did Stocktwits or its staff writer include any disclaimer regarding White Diamond's position as a proprietary short-selling market participant. The complaint alleges that this omission led readers to the false impression that White Diamond was an independent research firm with no financial interest in a decline in QUCY's share price, and that Stocktwits published the report with reckless disregard for its truth or falsity."GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS:IonQwas awarded a $28M contract extension through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, It's About Time program. Under the program, IonQ will advance its scalable clock production capabilities for its Evergreen-05 optical atomic clocks and deliver 125 units to U.S. government customers. The clocks are designed for mission-critical applications including radar, secure communications, and precision geolocation. Originally developed under DARPA's Robust Optical Clock Network program, IonQ's Evergreen-05 is a compact, fully integrated optical atomic clock with a 5-liter, shoe box-sized form factor. It delivers timing stability of 50 femtoseconds at one second and nanosecond holdover over 10 days-projecting to a timing error of less than one second over 30M years. The company also reported that Capella, an IonQ company, has been awarded a contract under the National Reconnaissance Office's, or NRO, Radar Commercial Augmentation program. Under the contract, the company will provide commercial synthetic aperture radar imagery and data services in support of U.S. national security missions. Through the RCA program, Capella will provide commercial radar imagery and data services.ANALYST COMMENTARY:Bernstein raised the firm's price target on Quantinuum to $95 from $94 and reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares. The company reported Q2 earnings after the market closed on Tuesday beating consensus on revenue and EPS and raising full year revenue guidance but missing slightly on Adjusted EBITDA. The results also included the IPO related costs including SBC that was triggered by the IPO. The stock was down slightly in the aftermarket. But the Quantinuum story is less about the near term numbers and more about the company's ability to deliver their fourth and fifth generation quantum computers on schedule, Bernstein added.Jefferies lowered the firm's price target on Rigetti Computingto $18 from $20 and maintained a Hold rating on the shares following Q2 results. The firm remains constructive on long-term progress, but maintained a Hold rating as execution against near-term fidelity targets is still needed, the analyst told investors in a post-earnings note.Roth Capital cut its price target on D-Wave Quantum to $30 from $40 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. D-Wave Quantum noted growing commercial traction in its QCaaS business and expanding system sales pipeline, with performance advantages and a broad annealing and gate-model offering supporting its competitive positioning, the analyst noted.Morgan Stanley boosted its price target on IonQto $49 from $48.50 and affirmed an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Q2 results showed strong commercial momentum, with Tempo deployments driving upside and RPO expanding, the analyst told investors.Canaccord lowered the firm's price target on Xanadu Quantumto $34 from $45 and backed a Buy rating on the shares. The firm noted they posted their second quarter since going public and said its revenue growth was driven primarily by DARPA Stage B program revenue, though it declined sequentially from $2.8M on lower grant revenue in the quarter. Canaccord said its long-term thesis on Xanadu remains intact. Xanadu is the only public pure-play photonic quantum computing company.

Quantum Cyber Produces First Mini-Interceptor Drone in Connecticut

Quantum Cyber announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum Drones, has completed the manufacturing and assembly of its first mini-interceptor drone at the company's U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The milestone marks the first in-house drone produced by Quantum Cyber following the closing on July 15 of the approximately 50,000 square foot Bridgeport facility. The mini-interceptor is an autonomous platform engineered for aerial neutralization of hostile unmanned aerial systems. Specifications include maximum speed of up to 220 kilometers per hour, operation time of up to 20 minutes, and payload of up to 50 grams of energetic payload. The Quantum Drone Autonomous System architecture, for which Quantum Cyber filed a provisional patent application on May 19, contemplates deployment of interceptor micro-drones in swarms of up to 12 units per airborne sentinel platform. The company also confirmed the initial buildout of its planned 80-unit 3D printing drone production farm at the Bridgeport facility is advancing and is expected to come online shortly. The company has previously stated a targeted annual production capacity of approximately 100,000 drones from the Bridgeport facility upon completion of full operational buildout. "Producing and assembling our first mini-interceptor at Bridgeport moves us from acquiring the facility to running it," said David Lazar, CEO of Quantum Cyber. "We believe that the mini-interceptor is the class of attritable, high-volume aerial neutralization platform that Executive Order 14307 and the Department of Defense FY2027 autonomous warfare budget are directing domestic manufacturers to deliver. The next step is bringing the 3D Printing Farm online. When it is fully commissioned, we intend to be building drones from filament we own, on printers we own, inside a facility we own. We believe that is what a domestic autonomous defense manufacturer looks like."
