"In six years' time, if I have access to that amount of money above 9% of the threshold, then yes, that's a huge amount of money that I can put to the needs of my, by then, seven- or eight-year-old child."

Where is Rigetti stock headed next? The answer depends on which question you're really asking. Like its pure-play quantum computing peers, Rigetti Computing (RGTI +17.96%) has seen incredible stock returns recently. As of this writing on Feb. 4, 2026, share prices are up by 1,420% in the past 15 months. The jump is a few steps behind D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +20.19%) gaining 1,910% over the same perio...
Where is Rigetti stock headed next? The answer depends on which question you're really asking. Like its pure-play quantum computing peers, Rigetti Computing (RGTI +17.96%) has seen incredible stock returns recently. As of this writing on Feb. 4, 2026, share prices are up by 1,420% in the past 15 months. The jump is a few steps behind D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +20.19%) gaining 1,910% over the same period, but far ahead of IonQ's (IONQ +15.18%) 770% rise. Rigetti investors expect quantum computing to disrupt many industries in the long run. From encryption and genetic analysis to financial forecasting, quantum's probabilistic calculations should eventually run circles around today's digital computers. And Rigetti isn't laser-focused on a single aspect of this opportunity. Instead, it wants to offer a full stack of quantum computing solutions, from hardware manufacturing and system design to management software and cloud-based service delivery. Presenting the whole package as a unit could make Rigetti popular with deep-pocketed enterprise customers. Expand NASDAQ : RGTI Rigetti Computing Today's Change ( 17.96 %) $ 2.69 Current Price $ 17.66 Key Data Points Market Cap $4.9B Day's Range $ 15.34 - $ 17.73 52wk Range $ 6.86 - $ 58.15 Volume 1.4M Avg Vol 37M Gross Margin -6849.48 % But what about the stock? You weren't asking about Rigetti's business ambitions, though. You want to know where the stock is going next. Honestly, Rigetti can go wherever quantum hype takes it. I thought it would cool down in 2025 after a soaring launch at the end of 2024, but Rigetti posted a full-year gain of 45% instead. A few technology advances around the quantum computing sector kept pushing the stock chart higher (in a volatile way, of course). Sentiment can flip on a single headline, for better or for worse. So I can't really say whether Rigetti will rise or fall in the next short-term time period of your choice. But the company is deeply unprofitable and has a habit of selling more stock in ...

涉聲稱年初一金鐘站放炸彈 31歲男被捕 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】警方拘捕一名31歲男子聲稱農曆年初一要在金鐘港鐵站放置炸彈，搜索後沒有可疑物品。 警方在被捕男子的家中檢獲兩支仿製步槍、一支仿製手槍以及彈匣、槍管和塑膠子彈。警方上月27日接獲報案，有人在網上遊戲群組聲稱年初一在金鐘港鐵站放置炸彈。調查後在沙田拘捕疑犯涉嫌炸彈嚇詐及管有仿製槍械，正調查他的犯案動機。 中區警區重案組第三隊督察熊斯達：「警方相信這名被捕人士是單獨行事，並沒有其他同夥，他亦是一個軍事遊戲及裝備狂熱者。雖然這次犯案只有一人，但他威脅的是在香港人口最密集、最繁忙的地鐵站引爆炸彈，警方非常重視事件，繼而迅速作出拘捕行動。」

HBO’s hit financial thriller “Industry” has delivered one of its most compelling storylines yet this season: a hunt to expose a fraudulent fintech company called Tender. The show follows Harper Stern, who’s leading her newly launched investment firm and looking for a company to short — essentially, betting that its stock will crash. After a journalist tips her off that something’s wrong with Tender, she sends her associates, Sweetpea and Kwabena, to Ghana to investigate. What they discover is damning. “Fake users drive fake revenue drives fake cash,” Sweetpea tells Harper. The entire company appears to be built on fabricated numbers. “The thing is nothing.” What’s fascinating about this season of “Industry” is how well it speaks to this moment. Tender starts as a payment processing platform for adult content. The show references the very real (and still controversial) Online Safety Bill that the UK introduced, which has led to age verification and other enhanced rules for consuming adult content online. Because of its affiliation with adult content, Tender finds itself at odds with the new government’s regulation and must pivot or die, as the saying goes. Image Credits:HBO Its CFO-turned-leader, Whitney, wants the company to pivot into a bank and has a plan to make that happen, including making Tender’s CEO, Henry, the face of that transformation. Whitney is the embodiment of every tech baron cliche. Move fast, break things. Win at all costs. He’s lobbying politicians for a banking license and hunting for merger opportunities. Harper, meanwhile, is leading her newly launched firm after feeling undermined at her previous firm and being called a DEI plant by the man who hired her (a nod to the decline of DEI in the past few years). She has teamed up with new friends and old frenemies and is looking for blood — meaning a company on the precipice of crashing. To her, Tender is that company. This puts her at odds with her friend Yasmin, who is married to Henry and is cra...

A flood of gifts are passed by adoring fans to 38-year-old Thai politician Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut.

A flood of gifts are passed by adoring fans to 38-year-old Thai politician Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut. Supporters, many of them young students, hand over orange garlands, plastic oranges on string, fresh orange fruit, a bunch of bananas and some corn on the cob. The trademark orange colour is one of the few things that has remained constant for his youthful, pro-reform party, which has been dissolved twice by Thailand’s constitutional court, and forced to regroup under new names and new leaders. “If you define yourselves … as being on the side of democracy, give us a chance,” Natthaphong urged a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally for his People’s party in Udon Thani, in north-eastern Thailand this week. “This party loves democracy.” People’s party, fuelled by support among young and urban voters, is leading opinion polls ahead of the election on Sunday. However, it is not expected to win an outright majority, and it may face an uphill struggle to form a coalition with rivals, which have previously blocked its bids for power. It also faces looming legal battles. People’s party will be up against incumbent prime minister Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of Bhumjaithai, a shrewd dealmaker who has the support of royalist military conservatives, as well as Pheu Thai, the party associated with now jailed former leader Thaksin Shinawatra. Although Pheu Thai is expected to see a decline in support, the party remains a powerful political force. Many of the voters attending the People’s party’s rally say they want structural change to Thailand’s political system. “I’ve lived through so many elections in my life, I don’t want to see the same system again. I want equality for the people, and for young people to be able to express their opinions freely,” said supporter Rattanakorn Boonchi, 46. The movement behind the People’s party emerged only eight years ago, but has quickly captured public support by promising reforms to make the country more democratic and break up monopolies...

When India sealed a landmark free-trade pact with the European Union last month, Brussels’ top bureaucrat saw more than an economic deal taking shape. “India has risen and Europe is truly glad about it,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared. “Because when India succeeds, the world is more stable, more prosperous and more secure.” Her words were more than just a diplomatic nicety; they reflected a growing consensus in European capitals that India has become an indispensable, pragmatic economic partner at a time of rising protectionism and great-power rivalry. Advertisement Less than a week after Brussels signed its trade deal with India, US President Donald Trump was announcing one of his own – the details of which are still vague – adding to a string of accords that New Delhi has concluded in recent months with Britain , New Zealand and Oman. Trade officials from India and Britain meet for talks in London last April. Photo: UK Department for Business and Trade/Reuters Canada , led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is scheduled to join the list next month with a wide-ranging agreement reportedly aimed at reducing his country’s economic dependence on the United States Advertisement Each deal reveals a little more of a deliberate strategy on Delhi’s part to diversify trade routes, expand its influence and anchor itself as the steady centre of an international system showing clear signs of strain.

watch now VIDEO 1:42 01:42 Investors are getting nervous about Robinhood's bitcoin correlation: Jim Cramer Mad Money with Jim Cramer CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday outlined what to watch in Wall Street's week ahead, from key labor data to big earnings reports from McDonald's, Robinhood and others. "There's a lot going on next week, but the most important thing, believe it or not, is the Labor Department's nonfarm payroll report on Wednesday," Cramer said. "If that comes in soft, it means the Fed can keep cutting rates, and that's great news for the stock market itself." Cramer said the recent rallies in decent stocks like PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson suggests the market believes the U.S. economy is showing signs of weakness. The January jobs report was originally due out Friday morning, but was delayed a few days due to the partial U.S. government shutdown. According to FactSet, economists estimate the U.S. added 80,000 jobs last month. The "Mad Money" host then turned his attention to upcoming corporate earnings. CVS Health reports quarterly results on Tuesday morning. Although the stock has been hammered with other health insurers on the Trump administration's proposed reimbursement rates for Medicare Advantage plans, Cramer said it's the only stock in that space he would own. "CEO David Joyner has done a terrific job and I think it's a fascinating time to own the stock," he added. "They're the last real national drugstore chain now that Walgreens has been taken private." Meanwhile, Cramer said DuPont' s earnings report that same day should highlight how great of a job CEO Lori Koch has done to improve the chemicals company. DuPont spun off its electronics business into a separate company called Qnity late last year, a long-awaited move that has helped kickstart the stock, which has soared about 58% over the past six months. DuPont is also a holding in Cramer's Charitable Trust, the portfolio managed by the CNBC Investing Club. The Club booked gain...

After two trade deals lifted a key overhang on Indian equities, investor attention is shifting back to the market’s persistently weak earnings outlook. Agreements with the US and the European Union helped ease fears that geopolitics and tariff turbulence would continue to weigh on the $5.2 trillion market. That relief, however, has done little to offset concerns over corporate fundamentals, especially after Indian stocks posted the worst January returns among major global peers. Earnings growth has lagged for months, the rupee has weakened, and foreign investors have treated India as a source of funding to chase artificial intelligence-driven rallies in China, Taiwan and South Korea. Adding to the gloom, Indian tech heavyweights such as Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Infosys Ltd. have been swept up in a global software selloff, as Anthropic’s latest AI advances threaten to disrupt traditional outsourcing business models. “India will continue to be seen as a funding market, at least for now,” said Vivek Dhawan , a fund manager at Candriam NV. “In terms of earnings growth recovery, where we see weakness is on the software services side.” Earnings for the MSCI India Index are projected to grow about 8.3% over the next year, trailing regional peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with forecast growth of roughly 16% for China, about 108% for South Korea and close to 30% for Taiwan. The index trades at about 22 times forward earnings estimates, in-line with its long-term average. Relative to other emerging markets, however, India still trades at a premium. The valuations are less attractive, “accounting for the growth trajectory and scope for earnings recovery, which is likely to stay selective rather than broad based,” said Ecaterina Bigos , chief investment officer Asia ex-Japan, at BNP Paribas Asset Management’s at AXA IM. The balance “points to a cautious optimism on Indian equities, with focus on strategic areas of growth for now.” The sen...
