Earnings Disappointment: Recent chatter on X about Rigetti Computing (RGTI) has been heavily focused on the company’s Q3 2025 earnings report, which showed a significant net loss and revenue shortfall. Many users are concerned about the stock’s sharp decline, with some highlighting a nearly 23% drop in share price as a worrying sign. The discussion often questions whether this is a temporary dip or a deeper issue.
CEO Stock Sale: Another major point on X is the CEO’s reported $11 million share sale earlier this year, sparking frustration among retail investors. Posts reflect skepticism about the timing of the sale, especially amidst past stock surges. This has fueled distrust in the ongoing narrative around the company.
Quantum Sector Hope: Despite the negatives, some buzz on X points to Rigetti’s potential in quantum computing, with users citing recent government funding talks and partnerships as reasons for optimism. The stock’s wild 5,500% surge over the past year keeps some hopeful. Yet, debates persist on whether current metrics justify the hype.
