Rigetti Computing (RGTI) shares soared more than 15% at one point in Thursday trading following reports President Donald Trump’s administration wants to take equity stakes in the quantum technology companies. However, investors should note that the Trump admin has since said it is not negotiating equity stakes with any quantum-tech companies.
Despite a sharp increase on Thursday, RGTI stock remains down over 30% versus its recent high.
