On June 8, Rigetti Computing rose 5.32% in regular trading, trading at $21.53/share, with trading volume of $188 million. The stock rebounded after a sustained pullback from its May 22 high, driven by a broad semiconductor sector recovery and continued quantum computing policy support.
On the news front, the stock had previously corrected due to profit-taking following a 50%+ surge on May 21-22, executive Rivas David's planned sale of approximately 499,328 shares worth around $12.68 million, and capital diversion caused by Quantinuum's Nasdaq listing on June 4. Within the semiconductor sector, major names posted strong gains, with Intel up 8.52%, Marvell Technology up 8.35%, and Micron Technology up 7.19%, providing a supportive backdrop for the rebound.
Medium-term policy catalysts remain intact, including the U.S. Commerce Department's approximately $2 billion investment across nine quantum computing companies — with Rigetti expected to receive around $100 million — and IBM's plan to invest over $10 billion in quantum computing over the next five years. These factors continue to underpin valuation support, with short-term oversold technical repair momentum driving the recovery.
