OPENDOOR Technologies: The next meme share?
The recent course development of the Opendoor Technologies Inc. awakens memories of the stock hypes around Gamestop and AMC. Daniel Kline von Thestreet notes that the share price of a company does not always have to correlate with its actual business prospects, as the example of Gamestop showed, which was driven up by Reddit groups despite a decade of decline. OpenDoor, a company that had set itself the goal of revolutionizing the traditional real estate model by making direct buyers of direct buyers, seemed promising. However, this business model, which should enable transactions through cash payments before the actual listing, quickly reached its limits, since the offers inevitably had to be low compared to the open market and did not allow any scope to negotiate.
Current price increase and trigger
After mass discounts and a trading price of less than $ 1 since April and under $ 2 over large parts of the year, the OpenDoor share has experienced an upswing in the last five days. The paper recorded a price increase of 190 percent last week and ended Friday at $ 2.25. In the pre-exchanging business on Monday, the increase continues by 27.56 percent to $ 2.8700. This course jumped after Eric Jackson, head of EMJ Capital and former Carvana bull, released a bullish post on X on July 14th. Since this article, the commercial activity of the OpenDoor shares has increased by 140 percent compared to the previous month, according to Tipranks. In the post office, Jackson expressed the expectation that the company would achieve its first positive EBITDA in August and praised the new approach of cooperation with brokers instead of the competition.
The business model and its challenges
Opendoor operates online using Ibuyer technology in the area of purchase, sales and trade of residential properties. The company buys real estate directly against cash, carries out minor repairs and then sells them further. Historically, however, Opendoor’s business was a niche with around 3,000 houses sold in each of the last two years. Rising interest rates and a slowdown real estate market put the sales and also put the debt -intensive business model under pressure. In May, Opendoor received a delisting warning from NASDAQ after the share was traded under one US dollar for over a month, and in June agreed to pay $ 39 million to add investors who claim that the company’s price algorithms were unable to keep up with market changes.
Analyst opinions and outlook
Most of the analysts share the view that the company has a limited potential. Wall Street awards a “hold” rating for the OpenDoor Technologies share in consensus. According to Tipranks, the average price target of $ 0.83 per share implies a massive downward risk. Ryan Tomasello from KBW also retained a “Hold” rating for Opendoor Technologies on July 18 and set a price target of $ 1.00. KBW grants the potential of Opendoor Technologies as an investment, but prefers certain AI shares with greater upward potential and lower down risk. Daniel Kline von Thestreet concludes that Opendoor, similar to Gamestop and AMC, has a limited business model and despite the interest of Reddit and social media that use Jackson’s forecast as a guise, is not a good investment with strong upward potential, but rather another battered brand with a faulty business model and a sufficiently low share price for manipulations.
