The 30-second read
Why it matters
The H1 earnings release provides the first public financial snapshot, showing revenue growth but a widening loss, which will likely drive near‑term price volatility.
Market read
Earnings of a niche quantum‑computing firm; may influence sector sentiment and investor appetite for high‑tech micro‑caps.
What to watch
The €110 M cash balance and recent Saudi and European contracts may offset short‑term earnings weakness.

Analysis
Pasqal reported first-half revenue of €4,872 thousand, compared with €4,286 thousand in the first half of 2025, and characterized the increase as 14% year-over-year. QPU-related services revenue was €3.9 million, up 34% year-over-year. Booked and awarded business was €70.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and includes grants, tax credit and multi-year customer contracts. The release did not provide revenue by operating segment.
The cost base increased sharply. Employee salaries and benefit expenses were (€41,594 thousand), professional services and other services were (€19,553 thousand), and operating loss was (€59,161 thousand), compared with (€19,773 thousand) in the prior-year six-month period. The Company stated that operating loss included €37.5 million in share based payments and one-time charges. Share based payment charges were €27.3 million and one-time transaction-related expenses related to the business combination and listing process were €10.2 million. Loss for the period was (€53,236 thousand), compared with (€26,118 thousand).
Cash used in operations was (€25,194 thousand), compared with (€19,956 thousand) in the first half of 2025. Investing cash outflows were (€4,970 thousand), including (€2,042 thousand) for property, plant and equipment and (€2,423 thousand) for intangible assets. Financing activity included €68,480 thousand of proceeds from capital increases and resulted in €67,251 thousand of net cash flows from financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents were €110,835 thousand at June 30, 2026, and the Company subsequently reported approximately €312.9 million as of August 27, 2026 following the business combination and related financing transactions.
Commercial and product activity centered on customer deployments, partnerships and quantum hardware development. The Company highlighted its NVIDIA CUDA-Q integration, a 200-qubit neutral-atom system in Saudi Arabia, a 140-qubit system in Italy, and strategic work with Crédit Agricole CIB. Technical milestones included defect-free registers of 1,024 atoms, a logical-qubit differential-equation application, and four rubidium atoms trapped from a single photonic chip. These developments support the Company’s stated focus on commercial deployment and a scalable neutral-atom platform.
No financial outlook was provided. The central reported tension is early revenue and QPU-services growth alongside a substantially larger operating loss and higher operating cash use. Investors should focus on conversion of booked and awarded business, the pace of QPU-related services revenue, operating-cost trends after transaction-related charges, and use of the post-financing cash balance.
Management, verbatim
During the first half of 2026, we continued to deepen our engagement with our customers of choice across financial services, energy and advanced materials to solve high-value business problems and integrate quantum computing into real-world workflows. As demonstrated by our expanding relationships with organizations including NVIDIA, Google, Saudi Aramco and Crédit Agricole, the ability to deliver quantum advantage on meaningful applications today is driving commercial momentum, strengthening our backlog and validating quantum computing as a practical tool for creating measurable value for enterprise customers.
Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, Chief Executive Officer of Pasqal
At the same time, we continue to execute against our roadmap. Recent milestones, including the demonstration of more than 1,000 physical qubits, industry-leading progress in logical qubits, and the successful application of our systems to solve complex differential equations and simulate materials beyond the practical reach of classical computing, reinforce our confidence in the strength and differentiation of Pasqal’s neutral-atom approach and position the Company to capitalize on the growing demand for practical quantum computing solutions.
