Rigetti Stock Is Soaring Wednesday: What's Going On?

First Solar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) is in the midst of a likely short squeeze, which is skyrocketing the stock. Once the squeeze is over, shares should fall back to relative congestion support.
So today, let&#8217;s place a trade on First Solar against the current trade, but give the chart some time to develop by setting the expiration at least 60 days to deliver results.
Here&#8217;s how best to do it.
First Solar&#8217;s resistance zone currently sits around $200, but with all this market uncertainty, trading could be choppy in the summer months. Support sits near $155, which is where we&#8217;ll put our middle strike.
The way to play this is with a long put butterfly, a combination of a long put spread, and a short put spread that share the same short strike and same expiration date. Though this kind of trade is often described as &#8220;delta neutral,&#8221; it certainly delivers profit if price action fades as expected. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Buy to open 1 FSLR 15 Aug 175 puts </li>
<li>Sell to open 2 FSLR 15 Aug 155 puts </li>
<li>Buy to open 1 FSLR 15 Aug 135 puts </li>
</ul>
Set an alert for prices near the middle strike so that you are very aware of the motion into the middle strike, as this is where the maximum profit will engage into expiration. You will also notice that price action is less sensitive to fluctuation the further we are from expiration. 
This long-put butterfly currently has a debit of $1.55, which represents the total risk incurred in the trade. The breakeven price of the stock at expiration on this trade is $173.45, less commissions.
The highest potential profit is $20 (the distance between $175 and $155), less the cost of the debt incurred by buying the call butterfly, so $20 &#8211; $1.55 = $18.45 less commissions.
It is extremely rare to collect all this premium in this kind of butterfly. Consider price action information to drive your risk and profit parameters.
This strategy provides several ways to exit, but I will discuss the main two:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sell the put butterfly when the profit goal moves into your target parameters, particularly once the middle strike is tested near the expiration time. I often look for an 80% to 200% return for these types of put butterflies, but the maximum profit potential is much greater.</li>
<li>To sell the put butterfly when your loss threshold is breached. Customarily, this is 50% for me. </li>
</ol>
More advanced traders might consider rolling the short strikes down over time if First Solar&#8217;s price continues to fall.

This Week's Best Short Squeeze Options Trade

Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>)&nbsp;shares are surging on Wednesday, reversing from yesterday&#8217;s decline.
This week, the company reported&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$1.47 million, missing analyst estimates of&nbsp;$2.55 million and&nbsp;earnings of 13 cents per share, beating estimates <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45379735" rel="noreferrer noopener">for a loss of 6 cents per share</a>.
Needham analyst N. Quinn Bolton lowered the price forecast from $17.00 to $15.00, while keeping a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RGTI/analyst-ratings">Buy rating</a>.
The analyst writes that revenue fell short of their expectations, pending reauthorization of the DOE Quantum Leadership Act (formerly the NQI).
Bolton highlighted key takeaways, including DARPA&#8217;s selection for its QBI program (Stage A) and the $5.48 million AFOSR award for the development of Alternating-Bias-Aided Annealing (ABAA) fabrication technology.

Bolton stated that the company achieved the optical control of superconducting qubits, which could reduce thermal load and physical footprint in future systems.
Also, the analyst stated that the company&#8217;s efforts to increase its U.K. presence with three Innovate U.K. Quantum Mission Pilot Awards and demonstration of optical control of a superconducting qubit, along with completion of Quanta Computer&#8217;s $35 million investment.
In the bear case, the analyst points to cash burn risk, which could lead to more capital raises and shareholder dilution.
Bolton slashed revenue estimates to $6.8 million (from $13.5 million) for 2025 and $15.0 million (from $25.0 million) for 2026.
Price Action: RGTI shares are up 19.70% at $11.80&nbsp;at the last check on Wednesday.

Demystifying Webtoon Entertainment: Insights From 6 Analyst Reviews

Looking into the current session, Murphy USA Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUSA#NYSE">MUSA</a>) shares are trading at $434.50, after a 0.20% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 12.61%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 0.83%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747249267_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Murphy USA P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 32.99 in the Specialty Retail industry, Murphy USA Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.43. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747249267_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
