A Quantum Shift: Why Speculative Money Is Ditching AI

Rigetti's Q1 2026 revenue surged to $4.4M from $1.5M, surpassing estimates, driven by Novera QPU deliveries and government contracts. The company launched its 108-qubit Cepheus-1-108Q system on multiple platforms, marking a significant milestone. Management aims for quantum advantage in three years with approximately 1,000 qubits, 99.9% fidelity, and error mitigation, supported by strong cash reserves.

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) shares dropped 8.5% following Q1 results, despite Needham's view that customer traction is increasing. The company recognized less than half of the ~$5.7MM in orders for its 9-qubit Novera QPU systems, with expectations to recognize the rest in 2Q26. Rigetti shipped a Novera QPU to the University of Saskatchewan and anticipates revenue from a sale to a Japan-based organization in 2Q26. The company is on track to deliver its Cepheus-1-108Q to C-DAC in India by 4Q26. Needham maintains a Buy rating and a $31 price target on the stock.
