On June 10, Rigetti Computing rose 5.21% in regular trading, trading at $20.595/share, with trading volume of $132 million. The stock rebounded after touching $20.53 on June 9, marking a technical recovery following a sustained pullback from its May 22 high.
The extended decline was driven by multiple headwinds: executive Rivas David filed Form 144 on May 29 to sell approximately 499,328 shares valued at roughly $12.68 million, Quantinuum's Nasdaq listing on June 4 diluted Rigetti's scarcity premium as a pure-play quantum computing name, and broader semiconductor sector weakness weighed on sentiment. The stock had previously surged over 50% on May 21-22 after the U.S. Commerce Department announced approximately $2 billion in investment commitments to nine quantum computing companies through the CHIPS and Science Act, with the government taking minority equity stakes rather than issuing grants.
Medium-term policy support remains intact, with the Commerce Department funding and IBM's multi-billion-dollar quantum computing investment plan providing valuation floors. The current bounce reflects oversold repair momentum following consecutive sessions of selling pressure.
