Quantum computing stocks took a wild turn in early 2025, with Rigetti Computing (RGTI) becoming the center of speculative trading, much like GameStop (GME) a few years ago. The stock skyrocketed by nearly 1,445% in 2024, only to drop 25% in early 2025.
Just like GameStop grabbed headlines in 2021, Rigetti’s journey — from $0.66 in September 2024 to a record high of $21.42 in January 2025 — has been nothing short of dramatic. This surge pushed its market value to $5.6 billion, despite the company making just $11.9 million in revenue over the last year.
