On June 4, Rigetti Computing fell 5.58% in pre-market trading, trading at $22.66/share, with trading volume of approximately $4.52 million.

The decline represents a continuation of profit-taking following the stock's sharp rally of over 50% on May 21-22, which was triggered by the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement of approximately $2 billion in investments across nine quantum computing companies, with Rigetti expected to receive about $100 million. Additionally, company executive Rivas David filed Form 144 on May 29 indicating plans to sell 499,328 shares valued at approximately $12.68 million, further weighing on market sentiment.

The broader semiconductor sector is experiencing significant weakness, with Broadcom down 14.01%, Marvell Technology down 7.28%, Micron Technology down 7.09%, and Advanced Micro Devices down 4.77%. This systemic sector pressure compounds the individual stock-level selling driven by profit-taking and executive share disposal plans, creating a multi-layered headwind for the stock despite the medium-term policy tailwinds from government quantum computing investments and IBM's recently announced $10 billion quantum computing commitment.
