Rigetti Stock’s Quantum Roller Coaster: 3,000% Surge, Government Backing & Big Risks

Rigetti’s stock has been on a wild roller coaster in recent months, reflecting both speculative hype and substantive news. Starting in early September, RGTI shares went on a tear – nearly quadrupling in value by mid-Octobernasdaq.com – amid a broader wave of investor FOMO in quantum computing. Over the trailing year through Oct 30, Rigetti rocketed an astonishing +2,810%, outpacing even other hot quantum peers like IonQ and D-Wavenasdaq.com. This parabolic rise turned Rigetti into a multi-billion dollar company virtually overnight, with its market cap swelling to about $11.5 billion by late Octobernasdaq.com. However, the stock’s momentum hit turbulence after peaking. From its all-time high in October, RGTI pulled back ~35% as early investors took profits and the initial euphoria coolednasdaq.com.

AI & Quantum Frenzy Propels IBM Stock to New Heights – Will the Rally Last?

AI & Quantum Frenzy Propels IBM Stock to New Heights – Will the Rally Last?

International Business Machines has staged a remarkable stock comeback in 2025. After years of underperformance, “Big Blue” saw its shares roar back to life, recently trading around $307–$310 – levels not seen in decades. The stock is up roughly 30% in 2025, dramatically outperforming the broader market. In fact, IBM even briefly hit all-time highs above $300 per share this year – a milestone that seemed far-fetched just a couple years ago. Recent trading trends underscore the bullish momentum. IBM shares jumped nearly 8% on October 24 alone, after a positive quantum computing announcement, and by October 29 they closed at $308. In the final week of October the stock fluctuated in the high-$300s, peaking intraday above $312 before settling at $307.41 on October 31, 2025. This puts IBM near its record closing high. By comparison, many “FAANG” and cloud peers – while also up on the year – have not seen such breakout highs for the year. Notably, IBM’s ~30% year-to-date gain even outpaced flashy tech names like Alphabet in 2025.
