Rigetti Shares Fall Premarket With Fresh Nasdaq Test for Quantum
Rigetti Computing shares fell before Thursday’s Nasdaq open, trading at $24.10, down $2.79, or about 10.4%, from the previous close. Investors were getting ready for another public-market test for the quantum-computing trade. Quantum stocks are a small and choppy part of tech these days. The sector moves more on government support, milestones from research labs and bets on qubit hardware than on present earnings. Investors are looking for breakthroughs that could let quantum machines solve tasks that classical computers can’t handle yet.
