Rigetti Computing earnings quality score

How much of the reported profit is backed by cash, and how many markers of managed earnings the filings show

Score66 / 100 · grade B · rank 513 of 1027

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) scores 66 of 100 for earnings quality, grade B: rank 513 of 1027 companies and 119 of 203 in technology. It loses the most points on adjusted earnings 414% below GAAP, discretionary accruals of -18.6% of assets (modified Jones), larger than most, Montier C-score 3 of 5 checks failed. It earns full or near-full marks for accruals of -33.1% of assets, lower than 99% of companies (profit backed by cash), Beneish M-score -2.32: clean (below −2.22), Dechow F-score 0.68 (normal). Revenue grew 68% in the year: fast growth raises accruals, the Beneish and Dechow scores and the C-score by construction, so a growing company scores lower than a steady one with the same accounting.

How the score is built

Eight published measures, each scored against the whole universe or on its own scale and weighted: accruals 20, discretionary accruals 10, Beneish M 15, Dechow F 15, Montier C 15, Piotroski F 10, the non-GAAP gap 10, smoothness 5. A measure that cannot be computed (Beneish for a bank, say) drops out and the rest is rescaled, so every company is scored on what applies to it.

Computed from the companies’ own XBRL filings (latest fiscal year) by published formulas; a statistical screen, not an audit or an accusation. A low score means the reported profit shows more of the markers of managed or low-quality earnings than its peers. Not investment advice.
