ARQQW

Arqit Quantum Inc. Warrants represent contractual rights to purchase common shares of Arqit Quantum Inc. at a predetermined exercise price, typically issued alongside common stock during the company's September 2021 SPAC merger and listing on NASDAQ. Each warrant generally allows the holder to purchase one share of Arqit common stock at the specified strike price within a defined time period, usually five years from issuance. These financial instruments provide investors with leveraged exposure to Arqit's quantum encryption technology business without requiring the full capital commitment of purchasing common shares outright. Warrant holders benefit if Arqit's stock price rises significantly above the exercise price, as they can purchase shares at the lower warrant price and either hold them or sell immediately for profit. However, warrants carry substantial risk including potential total loss if Arqit's stock price remains below the exercise price at expiration, rendering the warrants worthless. The warrant trading symbol ARQQW distinguishes these securities from Arqit's common stock (ARQQ), allowing separate trading on NASDAQ. Warrant pricing reflects various factors including the underlying stock price, time remaining until expiration, volatility expectations, and interest rates. Investors typically purchase warrants for speculative purposes seeking amplified returns from stock price appreciation while accepting higher risk compared to holding common shares directly.
