Q: Hi, just wondering if you could take a look under the hood of this company. Unlike the other quantum stocks that have fallen from highs, little QNC closed near a 52 week high on Friday! Despite the lack of revenue to date, they have announced some interesting deals and partnerships lately. How close would you say they are to generating revenue? Any comments on their balance sheet, as well as their products and services would also be appreciated. Thanks!

5i Research Answer:

QNC is a Canadian cybersecurity name focused on quantum-safe cryptography, and it has a few key products which provides cyber and quantum-secure cryptography for cloud serivces. They have announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PLUG to integrate its quantum-cybersecurity into energy-storage systems. It is still pre-revenue, funds its operations through share issuance, and they are likely in the late-development/early commerciailization phase. We think revenues could be several quarters out, if not more. The momentum is positive, but this is the same for many quantum names today. We would be fairly cautious here, given the general hype around the space, but we think there are going to be some winners in the field in the future. We would be OK with a small position, while acknowledging it is fairly speculative, and the small-cap risks involved.
