Opendoor surges as management commits to ongoing engagement with shareholders, confirms plans to expand services throughout the US

Every Opendoor shareholder I’ve spoken to in the past five days has stressed how important it is for management to be transparent, direct, and engage with shareholders. It’s a crucial part of why they believe in the stock and how they expect to receive positive reinforcement on its turnaround efforts.

Shares of Opendoor Technologies are surging double digits as the company fully committed itself to following that path.

“Opendoor Technologies Inc. (the ‘Company’ or ‘Opendoor’) investors and others should note that the Company has used, and intends to continue to use, Opendoor’s website, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) filings, blogs, community hub and social media accounts, as well as the X (formerly known as Twitter) accounts of its Chief Executive Officer, @CanadaKaz, and @Opendoor, as means of disclosing material non-public information,” according to a filing. “Opendoor encourages investors and others to review the information Opendoor makes public in the foregoing locations as such information could be deemed to be material information.”

The company has given its retail base of shareholders the management they asked for, which propelled shares sharply higher on Thursday, and is also giving them the communications they’re demanding.

The filing also confirmed the plan to expand throughout the US, as announced by CEO Kaz Nejatian in a tweet on Tuesday:

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.
