Somewhat surprisingly, two quantum computing stocks have performed very well in April. IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) are up 17% and 19%, respectively, as of the Apr. 10 close. Amid the market madness, the S&P 500 Index is down over 6% during that period.
A major announcement by a significant U.S. government agency is one possible reason these stocks have seen solid returns recently.
