On June 9, Rigetti Computing fell 5.08% in regular trading, trading at $20.42/share, with trading volume of $318 million. The stock extended its pullback from the May 22 highs as multiple headwinds converged.
On the news front, the decline reflects ongoing profit-taking following the stock's prior 50%+ surge triggered by the U.S. Commerce Department's $2 billion investment in nine quantum computing firms. Company executive Rivas David filed Form 144 on May 29 to sell approximately 499,000 shares valued at roughly $12.68 million, intensifying selling pressure. Additionally, Quantinuum's recent Nasdaq listing has diluted Rigetti's scarcity premium as a pure-play quantum computing stock, prompting investors to reassess relative valuations across the sector.
The broader semiconductor sector also weighed on sentiment, with Marvell Technology down 8.73%, Advanced Micro Devices down 3.23%, Micron Technology down 2.52%, Intel down 2.50%, and NVIDIA down 1.76%, reflecting systematic sector-wide selling that compounded the stock-specific pressures.
