Rigetti Computing A

Rigetti Computing has signed a definitive agreement with the US Commerce Department for a $100 million grant under the CHIPS Act, converting a previously announced letter of intent into a binding commitment. The funds will finance three R&D projects: miniaturization and integration of readout electronics, expansion of cryogenic capacity through a new cryostat architecture, and development of manufacturing capacity for highly connected chip architectures. As a condition, the Commerce Department will take a non-controlling minority stake, signaling long-term government support for the technology roadmap. The announcement did not temper an already neutral market environment and triggered a premarket share rise, while NEC’s withdrawal from gate-based hardware development reduced competitive pressure in the international hardware market. » Más en de.investing.com

Rigetti Computing reported Q2 revenue of $5.13 million (+183% y/y) and an adjusted loss of $0.05 per share, thus meeting analyst expectations. Gross margin improved to 43%, but operating expenses increased to $30.3 million, resulting in higher operating and net losses. The company holds $541.3 million in cash, is debt-free, and anticipates further system deliveries and fidelity improvements through the end of 2026. Investors reacted negatively to the high costs and the long time horizon for a commercial quantum advantage; the stock fell about 5.6% in after-hours trading. » Más en de.investing.com
