On December 16, Jefferies initiated coverage of Rigetti Computing with a Hold rating and $30 price target. The company is positioned to capitalize on the initial momentum of the quantum computing cycle, but Jefferies believes that the stock’s potential is tempered by risks related to execution and revenue concentration. The company must demonstrate a period of on-time delivery to overcome the credibility issues caused by previous roadmap delays. Rigetti’s heavy reliance on government contracts limits short-term financial visibility.
