On July 29, Rigetti Computing fell 8.71% in regular trading, trading at $13.255/share, with turnover of $220 million. The stock extended its previous session's decline as the broader semiconductor sector faced persistent selling pressure.
On the sector front, semiconductors experienced broad-based weakness, with Micron Technology down 8.66%, Advanced Micro Devices down 4.50%, Intel down 3.09%, NVIDIA down 2.69%, and SK hynix down 1.20%. The systematic sector-wide pressure continued to weigh heavily on quantum computing concept stocks including Rigetti.
Looking back, Rigetti had surged over 10% on July 27 after announcing a $5 million National Science Foundation grant to partner with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center on the TangleLab hybrid quantum-classical supercomputer project. However, consecutive declines over two trading days have now fully erased those gains. The company is scheduled to report Q2 financial results on August 6, with consensus EPS expected at -$0.05.
