EXCLUSIVE: Infleqtion Eyes 10x Revenue Jump — Can Quantum Deliver The Cash?

Wall Street isn’t debating Infleqtion’s $29 million revenue today — it’s betting on whether management can turn a $300 million pipeline into a roughly ten-fold step change in the business.
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, CEO Matt Kinsella framed the next two years as a pivot from pilots to scale, cashing in on momentum that is already visible in the field.
Infleqtion Revenue Growth And $300M Pipeline
Infleqtion reported $29 million in trailing twelve-month revenue as of June 30, 2025, plus about $50 million in booked and awarded business, growing at roughly 80% annually.
But Kinsella made clear that the real story is conversion — “scale what is working today” and turn early deployments into multi-year programs that repeat.
The prize is the $300 million-plus pipeline. If Infleqtion converts even part of that, the company moves from niche supplier to durable quantum contractor — the kind of step change public investors crave.
Quantum Sensing Revenue: Tiqker, SqyWire, Exaqt
Near term, revenue is likely to flow from sensing and timing, not computing, says Kinsella. Products like Tiqker (quantum clock), SqyWire (RF receiver), and Exaqt (inertial sensing) are already deployable, with “strong interest from governments and agencies, especially tied to national security use cases.”
That matters: this is paid work today, not PowerPoint science.
Computing remains the long game — a market McKinsey pegs at $130 billion by 2040 — but Infleqtion’s strategy is pragmatic: earn now, build later.
How Infleqtion’s IPO Will Fund Quantum Scaling
Kinsella said the first IPO dollars will accelerate R&D and deployment capacity — making systems smaller, cheaper, and easier to roll out so demand converts faster into contracts.
Investor takeaway: Infleqtion’s test isn’t whether quantum arrives — it’s whether a $29 million base can realistically become a $300 million business in a few years. The 10x question now belongs to execution.
