Director Ghai Rohit sold $357K worth of shares, reducing his directly held stake by 36.4% at a price 19.5% below the 90-day high. This is his fifth routine sale in a row, a pattern of consistent liquidation that contrasts with the analyst consensus of 19 buys and 0 sells.

QBTS CFO John Markovich sold 51,049 shares at $26.24 for $1.3M on June 9, trimming his stake by 3.5% to 1.39M shares — the stock sits 16.8% below its 90d high of $31.55 and 105.8% above its 90d low of $12.75. This is the third consecutive sale in 18 days, following a $9.1M sale on May 22 and a $90K sale on June 2, totaling $10.6M in rapid CFO liquidation with zero insider buying in the cluster — a persistent bearish signal from the officer with the deepest view of the company's financials. Bull case: stock holds above $17.74 (30d low) and STRONG BUY consensus from 22 analysts absorbs the selling pressure into the August 3 earnings; bear case: a break below $17.74 confirms the CFO's exit was directional, with the 90d low of $12.75 as the next structural support.

Where it could go — Broad base rate 50% positive at 90d; bull holds $17.74, bear breaks $17.74 toward $12.75.

EVP Diane Nguyen sold $1M worth of QBTS at $25.01, reducing her stake by 7.2% while the stock traded just 3.2% below its 90-day high. This first-time sale after a 96% rally from lows suggests profit-taking rather than fundamental concern, particularly given the 19 BUY analyst ratings. Bull: holds above $17.11 support → retests $25.83 high. Bear: breaks $17.11 → targets $15.

Where it could go — No similar QBTS signals for base rate; broad officer first-sales average 45% positive at 90d. Bull holds $17.11, bear breaks $17.11.

EVP Sophie Ames sold $437K of QBTS shares at $18.98, reducing her stake by 3.7% while the stock trades 23% below its 90-day high.

Where it could go — Analyst mean target implies upside; bear case if stock breaks $17.11 support.
