Seven analysts follow the stock; the median target is about $40, implying ~42% upside from the roughly $28 price. Key risks include the lack of a fault-tolerant quantum computer on a large scale and qubit sensitivity to environmental noise. Rigetti differentiates via vertical integration-building QPUs and delivering cloud-based quantum services-and its multichip QPU design for scale. While management sees long-term opportunities in finance and science, commercialization remains years away, and investors should weigh upside against execution risk.
