Opendoor (OPEN) stock slides in premarket after Jane Street stake filing — what investors watch next

New York, Feb 6, 2026, 09:17 EST — Premarket

Shares of Opendoor Technologies Inc dropped roughly 6% in premarket trading Friday, sliding to $4.70. The Nasdaq stock had ended Thursday’s session at $4.99.

The move shifts focus to ownership changes and a packed February schedule for rate-sensitive housing stocks. Opendoor operates an “iBuyer” model, purchasing homes directly to resell, which can amplify the effects of mortgage rate and home price fluctuations.

This is crucial now since Opendoor often moves sharply on news and shifts in positioning, not purely on fundamentals. With earnings coming later this month, traders are hunting for any clues on demand, pricing, and cash flow ahead of the next rate move.

Jane Street Group and its affiliates disclosed a Schedule 13G/A on Wednesday, showing they hold roughly 28.65 million shares of Opendoor, equal to about 3.0% of the company’s class as of Dec. 31. The filing also flagged “ownership of 5 percent or less of a class” and included a statement confirming the stake was “not acquired and [is] not held” with intent to influence control.

Schedule 13G is a short-form filing mostly used by investors labeling themselves as passive. Amendments become necessary if holdings shift or if an investor slips below critical thresholds. These filings can also reveal trading positions that aren’t intended as long-term commitments.

In premarket trading, Zillow slipped roughly 4%, while Offerpad dropped close to 8%.

Stocks sensitive to interest rates have been volatile as investors digest labor market signals and their impact on the Federal Reserve’s next moves. Data released Thursday revealed U.S. job openings dropped to 6.542 million in December, hitting their lowest point since 2020.

The key event next week is the postponed U.S. January employment report, now set for Feb. 11 following a short government shutdown. The January CPI is scheduled for Feb. 13, according to the Labor Department and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Opendoor is gearing up for a key moment on Feb. 19, when it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after markets close. The company will also hold its “Financial Open House” video stream at 5 p.m. ET that day. “We believe in building in the open,” it said in the announcement, noting that shareholders can begin submitting and upvoting questions starting Feb. 12. GlobeNewswire

The 13G filing looks backward, and premarket trading often lacks volume. If next week’s U.S. data shifts rate expectations, Opendoor’s price action might reflect broader macro trends rather than the ownership news itself.

Investors are set to focus on any follow-up ownership disclosures—and, above all, on Opendoor’s comments about demand, inventory, and margins when it releases earnings on Feb. 19.
