For full-year 2026, analysts polled by FactSet estimate revenue of $21.3 million, roughly tripling from a year earlier. "System sales cadence for Rigetti is improving with multiple 2026 system wins, while partnerships should help technological developments," said Jefferies analyst Kevin Garrigan in a report "Rigetti's December quarter revenue came in a touch light vs street, but management pointed to a sharp year-over-year step-up in March-quarter revenue as the company begins recognizing the $5.7 million Novera on‑prem system sales." Quantum Computing Stocks On the stock market today, Rigetti stock dipped more than 4% to near 17 in early trading. Heading into the earnings report, Rigetti stock had retreated 21% in 2026. Further, Rigetti recently announced an $8.4 million purchase order from India's Centre for Development of Advanced Computing for a on-premises superconducting quantum computer. Rigetti in 2025 won a $5.8 million contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to explore quantum networking. Quantum computing works on a subatomic level and uses exotic technologies, like supercold superconductor chips. Quantum computing aims to solve problems too complex for today's classical computers, such as simulating chemical reactions. Traditional computers use electronic circuits to store information as digital zeros and ones. Instead, quantum machines rely on processors known as "qubits." The IBD Methodology: How To Invest In Stocks While Managing Risks Qubit-based computing can be prone to errors from small environmental disturbances and other factors. For quantum computing to reach its potential, logical qubits will require robust error correction. The race is on to build "fault-tolerant" quantum computers that scale up and correct errors, allowing for complex, sustained calculations. Rigetti Stock: Technical Ratings Meanwhile, quantum computing stocks have been volatile amid controversy involving Nvidia (NVDA) over how soon commercially viable quantum technology will be widely available. Also, many artificial intelligence stocks have retreated in 2026. From a technical view, Rigetti stock holds a Composite Rating of 19 out of a best-possible 99, according to IBD Stock Checkup. IBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better. Meanwhile, Rigetti stock holds an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C-plus. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. (A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of a C grade as neutral.) Further, RGTI stock has a 21-day ATR of 8.71%. The average true range is a metric available on IBD's MarketSurge that gauges the characteristic breadth of a stock's behavior. Stocks that tend to make large jumps or dives in daily action, the kind that can trigger sell rules and shake investors out of a stock, have a high ATR. Stocks that tend to make more incremental moves have lower ATRs. IBD suggests stocks with ATRs of up to 8%, although investors don't want to be too concentrated in high-ATR names.
