Opendoor CEO Kaz Nejatian pledges to buy $1 million in company stock when the opening bell rings on Tuesday

Headline kind of explains the story here!

From the source:

Opendoor Technologies made its biggest-ever intraday comeback on Friday, from down more than 20% to closing flat, and surged on Monday as management revealed a dividend of tradable warrants (which will cause headaches for short sellers) along with the company’s Q3 results after the market closed on Thursday.

Getting insiders to buy more stock and have their incentives aligned with shareholders has been something that EMJ Capital’s Eric Jackson, the architect of the surge of retail interest in the online real estate company, has stressed. Jackson flagged his previous experience with Carvana — when CEO Ernie Garcia and many directors bought more shares of the company even as it was nose-diving — as giving him greater confidence in owning that name.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
