On June 3, Rigetti Computing fell 5.21% in regular trading, trading at $25.165/share, with trading volume of $323 million. The decline represents a continuation of profit-taking pressure following the stock's 50%+ surge on May 21-22.
On the news front, the prior rally was driven by the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement of approximately $2 billion in investment across nine quantum computing companies, with Rigetti expected to receive around $100 million. Since that spike, the stock has been in a sustained pullback. Adding to selling pressure, company executive Rivas David filed a Form 144 on May 29, signaling intent to sell 499,328 shares valued at approximately $12.68 million, further weighing on market sentiment.
Within the Semiconductors sector, performance remains mixed. Among individual stocks, Intel up 6.13%, Marvell Technology up 3.78%, Micron Technology down 0.78%, Broadcom down 0.75%, NVIDIA down 2.66%. RGTI's decline appears more reflective of stock-specific profit-taking and executive selling pressure rather than broad sector weakness, as mid-term policy tailwinds from quantum computing investments continue to provide underlying support.
