RGTI: Rigetti Shares Jump after Needham hikes target on U.S. quantum momentum
Aug 4 - Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) jumped more than 5% on Monday shortly after Needham raised its price target by $3, signaling fresh momentum in quantum computing. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with RGTI. Analyst Quinn Bolton sees growing buzz around federal programs like DARPA's Quantum Benchmark Initiative (QBI) and the proposed Department of Energy Quantum Leadership Act. He believes those efforts could unlock new research funding and commercial opportunities. Rigetti leads a pack of startups racing to prove quantum machines can outperform classical systems. QBI aims to assess whether quantum devices deliver more value than their cost by 2033. Meanwhile, the DOE bill would allocate $2.5 billion over five years to boost quantum research. Investors weigh the promise of those programs against current realities: most quantum firms still run R&D losses and generate modest revenue. Bolton urges a cautious stance, recommending smaller, speculative positions. Yet his buy rating on Rigetti reflects confidence that government backing could pave the way for breakthroughs and higher stock gains. With Washington pulling out all the stops to keep the U.S. on the leading edge of high-tech, Rigetti advocacy demonstrates the crossroad of policy and private money. This is the place to keep an eye on future legislative actions and DARPA milestones to get new startup catalysts. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
