Just been looking at Rigetti Computing and there's something interesting buried under that insane 1300% rally everyone's talking about. The stock absolutely exploded, which on the surface looks amazing, but the fundamentals tell a different story.
Here's what caught my attention: revenue is still laughably small for a company that's been hyped this much. They're burning cash, execution risk is genuinely high, and if you dig into the cap table, dilution is a real concern. The 1300% move is wild, don't get me wrong, but it feels more like speculative tech fervor than a company that's actually figured out quantum computing at scale.
I've been thinking about what actually matters here. They've built some interesting tech, no question. But between now and 2030, so much can go wrong. Competition is heating up, the quantum computing timeline keeps shifting, and frankly, the market is pricing in a lot of success that hasn't happened yet.
The thing that worries me most is that after a 1300% surge like that, there's a lot of room for disappointment. If they miss on execution - and quantum companies often do - this could reverse hard. Revenue needs to scale dramatically, dilution needs to stop being a problem, and they actually need to deliver on the quantum promise.
I'm watching it, but I'm not convinced this is a buy at current levels. There are probably better risk-reward plays out there right now. The story around quantum computing is compelling, but Rigetti's execution has to match the hype, and that's far from guaranteed.
