The week shaped up as a failed rally and then a low-level grind: Monday opened at $15.47, touched a weekly high of $15.89 and closed at $15.66; Tuesday gapped lower to $14.99, and the next two sessions oscillated between $14.60 and $15.32. Friday settled at $15.20. The weekly low of $14.595 came on Wednesday, with an 8.37% amplitude. Volume totalled 59.7m shares, averaging about 11.9m a day, roughly 60% of the long-term median daily volume. ## Key Events Most of this week’s headlines were sector-wide moves rather than company-specific news, with one material filing on record. The quantum computing group rose on Monday, with RGTI up as much as 0.48% intraday, then turned lower on Tuesday, when RGTI dropped more than 4% and marked the week’s low. Rising Treasury yields formed part of the backdrop: a 2 September report linked the pullback in IONQ, RGTI, QBTS and QUBT to higher yields. Sentiment repaired from Wednesday to Friday. On 4 September, quantum names rose in pre-market trading, with RGTI up about 2.11%. At the company level, a Form 144 filed on 4 September showed CFO Jeffrey Bertelsen planned to sell 25,000 shares, fetching roughly $375,000 at around $15 apiece. That disclosure appeared in post-market news on 5 September and reads as routine, with limited bearing on the week’s price action. ## Analyst Ratings Thirteen brokers cover the stock: eight rate it buy, one overweight and four hold, with no underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target of $28.81 stands about 89.6% above the current price of $15.20. Targets range from $18 to $40, a wide spread. Within the semiconductor manufacturers group of 77 names, RGTI sits at 27th by rating rank; the industry median coverage is 9 brokerages and the mean is 14, putting the stock’s coverage density slightly above the industry average. Broker targets sit above spot, but there is no sign of a directional rating change this week. ## The Week Ahead The coming week opens with the NFIB small business optimism index on 8 September, followed on 10 September by jobless claims, PPI, existing home sales, wholesale sales and the 10-year Treasury auction. For a long-duration sector like quantum computing, the 10-year yield path is the thread to keep watching: this week the group’s pullback tracked rising yields, and next week’s auction high yield and bid-to-cover will add a fresh data point. With company-specific news thin this week, any management commentary on capital spending or commercial progress will also be worth monitoring. ## In Short RGTI’s story this week was largely about valuation sensitivity at the sector level: the stock fell and lagged the broad market, with rising Treasury yields coinciding with the group’s sell-off. The sell-side still carries a buy consensus, and its target sits well above spot, but the $18-to-$40 range says views are far apart. On fundamentals, the company remains loss-making, with TTM EPS around -$0.72. Taken together, brokers’ pricing and current valuations sit in tension with sector sentiment; the next signal to watch is whether the 10-year yield keeps climbing and whether new commercial progress shifts that balance. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [RGTI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RGTI.US.md) - [RGTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RGTU.US.md) - [RGTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RGTX.US.md) - [RGTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RGTZ.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Rigetti CFO Jeffrey Bertelsen sells 25,000 shares for $375,010](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298071727.md) - [$100 Invested In Parker Hannifin 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297938874.md) - [$1000 Invested In KKR 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298086465.md) - [Mega Matrix shareholders back 1-for-20 share consolidation effective Sept. 15](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297830613.md) - [$100 Invested In Interactive Brokers Group 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297807472.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
