Even the Experts are Confused: Which Way Will Rigetti (RGTI) Stock Head Next?[Stocks](https://moneymorning.com/category/article/stocks/) # Even the Experts are Confused: Which Way Will Rigetti (RGTI) Stock Head Next?  by Joshua Enomoto  October 10, 2025  Share it: With the parabolic rise of quantum computing specialist **Rigetti Computing** ( [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti)), it’s difficult to find too many other mid-capitalization tech giants that can hold a candle to the blistering enterprise. Since the start of the year, [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock has gained nearly 200%. Just in the trailing month, [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) is up a stunning 176%. Still, the wild success raises serious sustainability concerns. It’s enough to confuse leading experts in the financial analysis industry. Recently, _Barron’s_ published an article warning that [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock and peers like **IonQ** (IONQ) could be in a [bubble](https://www.barrons.com/articles/rigetti-ionq-quantum-stocks-bubble-46ed270c?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAiKXUCVpE_ihM4eDBofrJQoqASgDSZZ3sH-Ylkv9eG9hI-vBkh2HzXtfzGSGgk%3D&gaa_ts=68e7e80a&gaa_sig=LJfrYN3NFUBmKXsBkQ5vFX3J4dOfE93FpzMpDIOz95DKEsDJpCcMEPhzfpnnNKZ4qpGqeMJ29QiZg07-Sp_N2Q%3D%3D). Such a perspective is hardly shocking. In addition to the performance stats mentioned earlier, [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) also managed to deliver gains of nearly 378% in the trailing half-year period. At some point, one would imagine that the good times will come to an end. It always does, right? But that’s not necessarily the consensus. Despite the already-outrageous performance, some experts believe that [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock has [more fuel left](https://www.barrons.com/articles/rigetti-stock-rally-quantum-computing-price-target-41d1962a?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAhknGva6m9A4LWgt3PICU-6J5Em-vNpAMYDTUeSsHW9Bquk8BIYgRek-RDZ_Zc%3D&gaa_ts=68e7e80a&gaa_sig=y5UzWEKUo5etibYh5j5jcu8lHCerSkfhJk44v9bYPWKA3Xms0JU8N98HLY7-SNZFXVp8hRFyITnX9eM5yX5FeA%3D%3D) in the tank. Still, it’s an incredibly risky proposition. Per TipRanks, the average 12-month price target sits at $26.42. At this level, it would imply a more than 41% haircut. Adding to the dilemma is the streak performance. If the week were to end right now, [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock would have printed five consecutive up weeks. Such streaks have only occurred four times and it’s been a 50/50 split as to what the next week’s result may reveal.  Quantitatively, [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock is structured in an 8-2-U sequence: eight up weeks, two down weeks, with an overall upward trajectory across the period. Empirically, it’s difficult to make judgments on this accumulation-heavy sequence as it has only occurred nine times on a rolling basis. In contrast, there have been 214 weekly rolled (non-independent) sessions. As such, the 8-2-U is reflective of only 4.2% of all of [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti)’s behavioral states. With that major caveat out of the way, past analogs show that [RGTI](https://moneymorning.com/stocks/rgti) stock tends to rise off this sequence — albeit in relatively modest fashion. It may not be the most compelling bull case available but there could still be some room left. **Beat the market, without relying on brokers or biased institutions.** Email(Required) Name This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
