Rigetti Computing Shares Surge After Bullish Analyst Coverage
Shares of Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), a company focused on quantum computing, soared over 15% on Wednesday following new analyst coverage. The surge came after investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald began recommending the stock with an 'overweight' rating and a $15 price target. This suggests potential for further gains of about 20% from current prices.
The rise in Rigetti's stock follows a strong year in which the company's share price climbed more than 1,000%. The company's recent performance and growing interest in the quantum computing industry have attracted attention from both investors and analysts.
Other quantum computing stocks, such as D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) and IonQ (IONQ), also gained after favorable analyst coverage. However, experts note that while the potential for quantum computing is significant, the industry is becoming increasingly crowded, and risks remain high.
Rigetti Computing specializes in developing quantum computers for research and industry use. Interest in this area continues to grow as quantum computing promises to revolutionize sectors like artificial intelligence and drug discovery.
