Currently, quantum computing stocks are some of Wall Street’s hottest stocks, even more than AI stocks. While AI is still playing out, quantum computing stocks can be paid quickly if their technology becomes viable and mainstream, especially if you buy some start -up points.
A quantum computing stock that rose in May Computing rejections (Nasdaq: rint)S It increased over 30% in the month, but at one point it is over 50%. It is clear that there is a lot of interest in Rigetti Computing’s shares, but is it worth buying here?

Although Rigetti Computing had a great month, it is still about 40% of its high high, established in early January. Hype for Quantum Computing Stocks has reached the highest level at the beginning of the year, so that makes sense, but is there any good reason to reduce so much?
Rigetti Computing works on a complete solution for Quantum Computing, which means that it will deliver customers with an entire Quantum Computing Unit ready to use. Rigets compete against many other start -ups to bring a viable market solution, but also competes against begemotes in space, such as Microsoft (Nasdaq: msft) and Alphabet (Nasdaq: goog)(Nasdaq: googl)S They all compete to solve the same problem: mistakes.
Quantum calculations are different from traditional calculations. While traditional calculations use bits (A 0 or 1) to transmit information, quantum calculations use cubes. The cubes transmit information as a superposition to an atom, which is best described as a likelihood of being 0 or 1. This makes quantum calculations ideal for many tasks that are not linear calculations, but also causes some errors. Since the cubes do not convey exactly 0 or 1, there is room to interpret what the answers give. This is a major problem with quantum calculations and every competitor tries different ways to solve this problem.
Rigetti has developed several chip architectures to reduce mistakes and currently has about 99% fidelity, which is comparable to most companies that compete in this field. In 2025, she plans to release four chip, a 36-cowing system that can provide a real use in the real world, although the widespread use of quantum calculations is still years.
Rigetti Computing projects, which before 2030, the market capacity for quantum calculations will be only $ 1 billion to $ 2 billion, mainly conditioned by various public companies and government research laboratories. After 2030, it can be seen that demand is indeed increasing, which increases to $ 15 billion to $ 30 billion in market opportunity by 2040. This is a long way out and the question remains: is it too far to invest seriously in Rigetti Computing?
Rigetti Computing’s shares are now quite successful in it. The company has been trading in $ 3.5 billion, although it generates only about $ 9.2 million contracts. Rigetti is also deeply unprofitable and has recently agreed to sell new shares worth up to $ 350 million to increase its monetary pile and continue its research and development.
This should not surprise anyone, but it smears existing shareholders by flooding the market with new shares. This is not the first time Rigets did this and it won’t be the last and investors need to be prepared for more events like this.
In addition, if Rigetti loses the quantum computational weapons race to another competitor, his shares will become useless.
Although no one wants to see an investment to reach $ 0, this is reality with some of these quantum calculations. That is why I prefer to invest in some of the bigger players who also compete in the quantum computer weapons competition, as there is a major business to return if they lose the race.
Rigetti Computing is not a bad stock in any way; It’s just a high risk. If you want to own shares, then I would offer a lower position, as this will protect you from it significantly damage to your portfolio if it fails. But even a small position size can grow to massive if the stock flows. I’m not sure if Rigetti Computing will be this company, but we won’t know the results for a few more years, so I will probably avoid stocks for now.
