Watch: Monitor Rigetti's next earnings and deployment of $100 million CHIPS Act funding for early signs of operational impact.
Rigetti Computing shares jumped over 30% following the U.S. Commerce Department's plan to award $2 billion in grants to nine quantum computing firms, including Rigetti. The government will acquire equity stakes in Rigetti under the 2022 Chips and Science Act. Rigetti's Q1 2026 revenue nearly tripled to $4.4 million, signaling accelerating growth amid federal support. Skepticism about quantum technology costs and AI relevance persists but does not overshadow the rally.
Federal funding and equity stakes validate Rigetti's growth prospects and strengthen its market position as Q1 revenue triples, positioning it for long-term competitive advantage despite sector doubts.
