Why Is RIGETTI COMPUTING IN (RGTI) Stock Up Today?

By the Top Tier Newswire AI Desk · July 28, 2026 at 12:04 AM ET · reviewed against 18 wire stories

RIGETTI COMPUTING IN (RGTI) is up +10.53% in the latest session. Our newswire has captured 18 stories on RGTI across 10 sources in the last 36 hours, with AI sentiment reading bullish (avg 61/100).

RGTI stock is up 10.53% to $15.64 in a session driven by renewed investor interest in the quantum computing sector. The rally follows a wave of positive coverage from analysts and news of Rigetti's ongoing collaboration with HPE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Benchmark has reinstated coverage of quantum computing stocks, including Rigetti, with a favorable outlook for the industry's growth potential.

What Happened

Rigetti Computing's stock surged as quantum computing firms gained attention from analysts and media outlets. Benchmark, a key industry analyst firm, has issued "Buy" ratings for Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave, emphasizing that 2025, 2026 will be critical years for the sector's legitimacy. The firm also projected the quantum computing industry could generate $1.5 billion in revenue by 2026. Rigetti is also making progress in its collaboration with HPE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, where it is developing a 9-qubit hybrid quantum-classical system as part of a $5 million project. These developments have drawn investor attention and contributed to the stock’s upward momentum.

What The Data Shows

Over the last eight sessions, RGTI has risen 7.3% from $14.57 to $15.64. The stock remains within its 52-week range of $12.53 to $58.15. Insiders have been active sellers, with six transactions totaling $20.2 million in the last 90 days, most recently on June 22. The company has a market cap of $4.7 billion, but it remains unprofitable with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -0.86. Despite a recent revenue increase of 8.8% TTM, the stock's high beta of 1.96 reflects its volatility and sensitivity to sector trends.

What To Watch

Rigetti Computing does not have an upcoming earnings date. Investors should monitor the breadth of analyst coverage and the progress of its hybrid quantum-classical projects with HPE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center for potential catalysts.
