Investment Thesis

1

Finalized $100M CHIPS Act funding validates domestic quantum manufacturing capabilities.

2

Non-dilutive capital injection shifts narrative from speculative R&D to industrial scale.

3

Severely beaten down, trading 73% off highs with high short interest.

Rigetti offers the most asymmetric setup among the finalists, combining a massive, finalized $100M CHIPS Act award with a deeply depressed valuation. While speculative quantum names have struggled, this direct, non-dilutive government funding provides a hard catalyst that the market has not fully priced in.

Policy Rationale

The $100M award from the Department of Commerce directly aligns with the CHIPS Act mandate to onshore advanced microelectronics, providing verifiable federal backing.

Technical Setup

Trading 73% below its 52-week high and down 17% over the last month, the stock is washed out and primed for a momentum reversal.

Key Risks
High beta (2.01) and negative margins
Sector momentum drag from broader quantum skepticism
Competitive Field — considered, not selected
WLDN

Catalyst is an earnings report detailing past contract revenue rather than a new forward-looking policy award.

CACI

The $500M SkyValor contract is from July, making the catalyst too stale to drive new 7d alpha.
