- Rigetti revenue miss pressures shares as AI infrastructure earnings diverge — this brief
Rigetti Computing shares declined sharply following a third-quarter revenue miss. Blockonomi reported that RGTI closed Tuesday at $12.15, down 6.39%, then slipped another 6.83% in after-hours trading to $11.32. Quarterly revenue reached $1.41 million, compared with analyst expectations of $3.52 million, leaving the company’s reported sales well below the forecast cited in the coverage.
Management’s response focused on investment and technical progress rather than near-term sales. The CFO said 2027 capital expenditure would resemble 2026 rather than 2024 or 2025, while the CEO urged investors to track technical milestones instead of revenue. Those comments placed the revenue shortfall alongside the company’s planned spending profile and its longer-term development schedule.
The broader coverage from the three outlets shows a divided earnings picture among AI-linked companies. Blockonomi reported that GE Vernova rose 6% to $845 in premarket Wednesday after closing at $797.04 on Tuesday. J.P. Morgan retained an Overweight rating but lowered its December 2027 price target to $1,000 from $1,035, and identified GE Vernova as the only company among 11 reviewed AI-exposed industrial firms to hold more cash than debt. Its third-quarter orders reached $29 million in the figures provided.
By contrast, CoinCodex said CoreWeave shares gained after the AI cloud company beat third-quarter revenue estimates and raised its 2026 revenue forecast. Cointelegraph quantified that performance, reporting revenue of $3.66 billion, up 168%, and 3.4% above analyst estimates. Its revenue backlog reached $132.5 billion, giving the three outlets a contrast between Rigetti’s revenue shortfall and stronger reported demand metrics elsewhere in the technology market.
The crypto market supplied a risk-off backdrop but was not directly tied to the reported stock moves. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.52 trillion, the overall market was broadly lower, and 
Bitcoin was down 1.35% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index registered 29, corresponding to Fear. The next company-specific indicators highlighted by the coverage are Rigetti’s technical milestones, the shape of its 2027 capital spending and its ability to close the revenue gap, alongside CoreWeave’s updated forecast and GE Vernova’s order performance.
