## Elevator Pitch

- Rigetti Computing is unlikely to benefit materially from the $2.7 billion funding from the National Quantum Initiative, which seems to be the catalyst for the stock's sharp rise up recently.
- RGTI management has a patchy record in revenue and margins execution vs consensus expectations.
- At current quarterly FCF burn levels, the unprofitable Rigetti Computing has enough liquidity to last just over 2.5 years, due to a recent $100 million equity raise.
- RGTI's valuation drivers suggest the stock is in an unreasonable hype mode, as forward revenue estimates remain unchanged despite the stocks' sharp climb up.
- Technicals show strong bullish momentum but is nearing a major resistance area. Overall, I believe it is wise to steer clear of RGTI, but also not to be bearish on it as the market's bullish momentum is hard to fight.
