Rigetti Q1 Preview: Traders See ~17% Swing in RGTI Post-Earnings

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) is slated to report Q1 results on May 11; the options market is pricing in about a 16.9% move in either direction, signaling earnings-driven volatility. Wall Street expects a narrower loss per share of $0.04 on revenue of around $4.09 million, with investors watching for signs of demand from major hardware sales (including an $8.4 million, 108-qubit order from India’s CDAC and $5.7 million in two 9-qubit Novera systems). The company aims to reach more than 1,000 qubits in the long term, while the stock has rallied recently but remains down year-to-date. Analysts publish a Moderate Buy rating with a $30.67 average price target, implying potential upside if results meet or beat expectations.
