Opendoor is a low-quality name because real estate is a personal, decentralized business that isn't meant to be centralized by a non-personal agent managed from San Francisco. Its web traffic is small next to Redfin's amid big competition, and it needs something revolutionary that isn't in sight. Real estate also shouldn't be touched in a weak consumer market. x.com x.com x.com
Opendoor combines an awful business, awful management, an awful board and awful shareholders. @qcapital2020 recalls the retail campaign that left thousands of bagholders, and Keith Rabois installing a Shopify executive as CEO while talking of a $100 billion company. x.com
Opendoor's shrinking revenue and persistent operating losses undermine Keith Rabois's claim that its metrics are solid. Revenue fell from $15.6 billion in 2022 to $4.4 billion in 2025; the S&P Capital IQ screenshot shows broker estimates for negative EBIT through 2028 and $1.96 billion in total debt. x.com x.com
Opendoor Technologies is undergoing a cultural change under CEO Kaz Nejatian that the market is pricing poorly. The latest results were incredible, Nejatian is even better than advertised, and acceleration is underway. The market tends to misprice such turnarounds when early results show but the new team lacks a long track record running the business. It all comes down to whether they can pull it off. x.com x.com
Opendoor's 10% fee makes its offer uncompetitive for sellers. One homeowner was quoted a $60,500 service fee on a $634,000 sale, roughly double what both agents would cost, which explains why the stock is around $4 despite hopes it becomes a trillion-dollar company. x.com
Opendoor's record net loss undermines its investment case. Trailing net income has fallen to negative $1.521 billion, its worst level so far. x.com
Opendoor's improving unit economics could create operating leverage when housing recovers. It could be one of 2026's most interesting speculative turnarounds. Q2 contribution profit rose 59% sequentially to $51 million, margin reached 4.8%, and profit per home sold rose about $5,000 to $22,000. It still has an adjusted EBITDA loss; mortgage rates, inventory and dilution threaten returns. The coming quarters must prove sustainable profits and shareholder value, not just volume. x.com
Opendoor keeps losing money each quarter while cycling through CEOs. Its steep stock decline looks like capital markets disciplining a struggling business. x.com
Opendoor is not worth owning until interest rates start coming down. @Donald04284612 argues the new CEO has done a remarkable job and the stock could be a turnaround and a play on lower rates and a housing recovery. x.com
Opendoor could make a nice short-term swing trade on retail hype if it breaks its downtrend, though its long-term fundamentals are unconvincing. Retail speculators may pour back in once it moves, and some may buy it by mistake around the OpenAI IPO, as happened with Virgin Galactic before SpaceX's IPO. Fundamentally, mortgage rates likely need a serious cut for the business to accelerate. x.com x.com x.com x.com
Opendoor will go nowhere until interest rates fall and home affordability improves. It has broken down from a Darvas box, while retail traders keep buying it because it is low-priced and was hyped toward $80 a share. x.com
