Rigetti Shares Pull Back After Quantum Rally, Market Eyes Next Catalyst

Rigetti Computing was down early Wednesday as the quantum-computing stock lost ground after recent spikes. Shares ended Tuesday at $25.07, off 5.13%, following big gains of 30.57% on May 21 and 19.87% on May 22. Premarket quotes had Rigetti slipping further to $24.50 at about 4:43 a.m. EDT. This is the situation now. Investors have new company news to trade, while they also gauge if last week’s government-led rally got out in front of what’s still a small commercial base for quantum hardware.

  • Nike Shares Drop 33% in 2026 as Inventory Moves Pressure Stock; Insiders Buy, Dividend Kept
    June 29, 2026, 5:34 PM EDT. Nike Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is down 33.33% for the year so far, lagging gains in the S&P 500 and QQQ ETF. Shares last at $41.82 as the company works through an inventory cut and backs away from discounting to protect its brand. Nike surprised with Q3 FY26 EPS, beating estimates by 24.25%, with wholesale revenue up 5% and North America sales up 3%. The company kept its quarterly dividend at $0.41, a streak now over 20 years, and is running an $18 billion buyback plan. CEO Elliott Hill and board members have been buying shares, showing some management conviction. Headwinds remain, though, after a 7% drop in Greater China revenue and margin pressure. Analyst target is $58.72, so there's some possible upside if the reset pays off.
