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.

Meta Earnings: A Low-Risk Options Play Ahead

Meta Earnings: A Low-Risk Options Play Ahead

Ahead of Meta's earnings, fundamentals look solid with ad-pricing improvements driving roughly 30% year-over-year revenue growth, but the chart is mixed around the 150-day moving average. The options market prices in about a 7.5% move post-announcement, with notable buying in 620–675 strike calls. The suggested approach is a call spread risk reversal: sell 625 puts and 750 calls to finance buying 680 at-the-money calls. This lowers risk and caps upside (roughly 8%), while historically delivering a higher win rate (around 29% annualized) compared with buying the stock or near-term calls. Buying Meta stock into earnings has been a coin flip with modest average gains; the spread strategy aims for better risk-adjusted returns.

Micron’s AI Demand Backdrop Fuels a Lean Bullish Options Play

Micron stock has surged this year, but the analysis argues the smart-money view remains calm rather than panicked, with volatility skew suggesting limited downside anxiety and potential upside. A key takeaway is a cost-efficient March 20 bull call spread (430/440) offering a breakeven near 435.15 and up to ~94% potential payout, driven by AI memory demand. Street data show MU as a Strong Buy with an average target of about 404.73, implying modest downside risk over the next year amid an AI-driven memory cycle.
