Rigetti Computing Stock Slides 8% After Hitting Record Highs On Tuesday — Traders Warn Of More Downside

Rigetti was the top trending ticker on Stocktwits during the midday trade before slipping lower in the rankings.

D-Wave Quantum, Inc. (QBTS) stock rallied over 6% to a new high of $45.30 (intraday) on Tuesday, even as the broader tech sector moved lower, and it rose further in the extended session.&nbsp;Since breaking out of a recent consolidation phase in late September,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QBTS">D-Wave stock</a> has been on a broader uptrend as traders have become increasingly optimistic regarding the quantum computing industry. Tuesday’s rally came after the company was named as among the recipients of Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things in Tech awards.Commenting on the feat, D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz said, “This award underscores the groundbreaking performance of our Advantage2 annealing quantum computer to efficiently solve highly complex problems that are difficult for classical computers.” “It’s a well-earned testament to D-Wave's relentless delivery of production-ready quantum computing technology that brings value to our customers today.”Recently, JPMorgan named quantum computing among the 27 industries that it would invest in as part of its 10-year plan to nurture industries that are critical to national and economic security.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward D-Wave stock improved to ‘bullish’ (59/100) by late Tuesday from ‘neutral’ the day before. The message volume on the stream was ‘high.’ Underlining the increasing interest in the stock in the near past, the message volume on the stream was up about 2,400% over the 30 days leading up to late Tuesday. Over the past year, the stock’s following on the platform increased by 830%.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:623/53;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_15_at_1_24_05_AM_png_0c6a62d57d.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 1.24.05 AM.png" width="623" height="53"><figcaption>QBTS sentiment and message volume as of 1:20 a.m. ET, Oct. 15 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A bullish watcher predicted a significant move for D-Wave stock, citing strong momentum and reduced volatility that reinforce a bullish outlook. “The stock appears strong but remains high-risk,” they said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/JustinGibson6132/message/632352803</stembedurl>Another user speculated that a short squeeze could be coming.

Wall Street analysts, however, have turned uneasy about the stock’s valuation. The average price target for D-Wave stock is $23.30, according to Koyfin, implying roughly 46% downside from Tuesday’s close.According to a Barron’s&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/y2kate/message/632349797A">report</a> published last week, quantum computing stocks are trading in bubble territory. The report pointed out that quantum companies Rigetti, IonQ, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing generated about $26 million in sales over three months but command a collective market capitalization of $55 billion.&nbsp;The skepticism stems from some of the principal challenges these companies face, such as the propensity for errors due to Qubits — fundamental units of information in quantum computing — being sensitive to environmental noise or any other disturbances at the atomic level. The concerns also reflect the time it would take for the technology to become commercially and widely available.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasdaq-s-and-p-500-futures-edge-higher-on-rate-cut-hopes/ch6nke0R3Zj">Nasdaq, S&amp;P 500 Futures Edge Higher On Rate-Cut Hopes: Traders Eye More Big Bank Earnings, Fed Talks</a>

These stocks received a shot in the arm from an announcement from JPMorgan on Monday that, as part of its Security and Resiliency Initiative, it would invest $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years in a host of industries critical to national economic security and resiliency, including quantum computing.Retail investors’ skepticism toward Rigetti is potentially due to the stock’s stellar rally this year. Rigetti stock has gained about 260% this year. The average price target for the stock is $26.83, according to Koyfin, implying over 50% downside from Monday’s closing price.As recently as this month, Andrew Left’s Citron&nbsp;Research stated that Rigetti is merely an underfunded science project, as the firm contrasted it with Infleqtion, which has agreed to merge with&nbsp;blank-check firm Churchill Capital Corp. (CCCX). Citron deemed that the SPAC was severely undervalued relative to Rigetti, indirectly questioning the latter’s heady valuation.&nbsp;But few who are bullish on the stock hope for a short-squeeze rally.

Special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Churchill Capital Corp X (CCCX)&nbsp;shares were up over 4% in early premarket trading on Wednesday, poised to extend their winning streak to six sessions. The optimism over the shell company’s impending merger with the privately held quantum computing company Infleqtion has increased retail traders’ interest in Churchill Capital stock.The stock jumped 14% on Tuesday after Andrew Left’s Citron Research said the company is undervalued. Comparing Infleqtion with Rigetti (RGTI), the firm stated that the former actually sells quantum hardware, sensors, and atomic clocks, whereas the latter remains an underfunded science project.If both companies shared the same market capitalization, Churchill Capital should be trading at over $60, Citron said. Notwithstanding the stock's 80% rally seen since Sept. 8, when it announced its plan to merge with Infleqtion, it still traded at $18.23.Citron said, “Most investors don’t realize Infleqtion already has real defense and aerospace contracts — with DARPA and the Air Force Research Lab — and is shipping deployable quantum systems today.
