Cash plus investment assets

IonQ

USD 3.3 billion

At 2025-12-31

Rounded issuer total: cash, cash equivalents and investments. Broader than cash alone.

What this comparison cannot tell you

Release tables and rounded highlights are not a full filing review. Rigetti's release tables are unaudited. Debt terms, commitments, dilution and later results require additional evidence.

Bookings are not recognized revenue. This comparison does not normalize bookings, technical benchmarks or broad asset totals into a score. A missing measure is not assumed to be zero.
