The rally driven by retail investor enthusiasm on platforms like Reddit and TikTok follows a bullish thesis from EMJ Capital’s Eric Jackson who predicted a potential 100x return. Trading volume hit 384 million shares on July 21 reflecting intense market interest in the digital real estate platform known for its iBuyer model of buying and selling homes.
Retail and Hedge Fund Hype
Jackson’s July 14 forecast highlighted Opendoor’s lack of iBuyer competition after Zillow and Redfin exited the market positioning it to capitalize on housing recovery. Social media posts on Reddit’s WallStreetBets fueled speculative trading with over 2000 comments on bullish options plays.
Despite a 52-week low of 0.51 dollars in June the stock’s 299.64% monthly gain has cemented its meme stock status. However analysts warn of volatility with a Hold consensus and a 0.83-dollar price target implying 63.1% downside risk.
Financials and Strategic Shifts
Opendoor’s Q1 2025 results reported 1.2 billion dollars in revenue beating estimates by 130 million dollars with a net loss of 85 million dollars improved from 109 million dollars year-over-year. The company cut operating expenses by 33% and acquired 3609 homes a 4% increase.
Q2 guidance projects 1.45-1.525 billion dollars in revenue and positive EBITDA signaling efficiency gains. Challenges persist with high mortgage rates and a 25% drop in clearance rates but a hybrid agent-assisted model aims to boost sales.

What’s Next for Opendoor
The proposed reverse stock split vote on July 28 2025 aims to maintain Nasdaq listing compliance but could sway investor confidence. Opendoor’s 325-million-dollar convertible notes issuance due 2030 strengthens its balance sheet. With a 1.64-billion-dollar market cap and retail-driven momentum the stock faces a critical juncture as it balances speculative hype against housing market headwinds.
