-- ウェドブッシュ証券のアナリストは木曜日のレポートで、リゲッティ・コンピューティング(RGTI)の量子コンピューティング・アズ・ア・サービス契約とシステム販売は、短期的には引き続き「変動が大きい」と予想していると述べた。 アナリストは、リゲッティがノヴェラ社の売上の一部を計上するため、第1四半期の売上高は前年同期比で増加すると予想している。また、第2四半期には、同取引の残りの収益が今四半期中に計上されるため、さらに好調になると見込んでいる。 同社は5月11日に第1四半期の決算を発表する予定だ。 アナリストは、リゲッティの今年下半期の売上高は、1月に発表されたC-DACからの受注によって押し上げられると予想している。 ウェドブッシュ証券は、リゲッティがシステムの改良を継続する中で、特に第2四半期に99.5%以上の精度達成に向けた進捗状況について、今後さらに最新情報を提供すると予想している。 アナリストは同社株に対し、「アウトパフォーム」のレーティングと40ドルの目標株価を設定している。

Mapping at the South Gold zone indicates a stockwork width from 40-70 metres averaging 50 metres along a 400-500 metre strike length, it said."The zone consists of highly sericite argillic altered porphyry and hornfels host rocks cut by a dense stockwork of thin light brown limonite veinlets with thin dark quartz vein centres and thicker dark limonite quartz veins that are both vertical and shallow dipping," said Orestone in a statement. "Assay results for the first two trenches at Francisca compare favorably to historically reported data and confirm that a robust gold-silver mineralized stockwork system is exposed on the surface."The company's goal is to define a gold-silver deposit that can be mined by open pit.Shares of the company were last seen down 4.2% at $0.115 on the TSX Venture Exchange.Price: $0.115, Change: $-0.005, Percent Change: -4.2%
