Opendoor Technologies Inc. (OPEN) climbed about 4.9% to $5.57 by midday Tuesday, with more than 34.9 million shares traded. Investors kept eyes on the company before its expected addition to the Russell 3000 Index. The stock opened at $5.25 and touched $5.58 at its session high.
Timing is key. The Russell reconstitution is in its June lead-up, with stocks heading into the reshuffle. Names added to the big benchmarks can see demand from passive funds tracking the indexes, which need to match their holdings to the new lists.
Opendoor said last week it will join the Russell 3000 index after the U.S. market closes on June 26. According to the company, getting added typically means also landing in the Russell 1000 or Russell 2000, as well as related style indexes.
FTSE Russell started sending out preliminary lists in late May and plans more updates for June 5, June 12, and June 18. New indexes go live after the June 26 close. That means Opendoor stays in an index-flow trade most of this month, even though no new earnings report is expected.
Markets ran on a normal schedule in the U.S. Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday list shows Juneteenth on June 19 as the next time markets are closed in June. Regular hours for Nasdaq are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern.
That move outpaced peers like Zillow Group, which added 1.9%. Compass advanced 4.3%. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF, which tracks small-caps, traded higher by 0.7%.
Opendoor’s index story is paired with a turnaround push. In May, the company posted first-quarter revenue of $720 million, down from $1.15 billion the year before. Net loss was $173 million. The number of homes bought climbed 45% from the previous quarter. The share of homes listed for over 120 days dropped to 10%, from 33% the prior quarter.
Opendoor CEO Kaz Nejatian said the company is getting a “step-function change” in cohort margins, resale speed and inventory health. “The machine is working,” Nejatian said. Opendoor Technologies Inc.
Opendoor is guiding for second-quarter revenue to climb about 25% over the first quarter. The company says contribution margin should be near the middle of its 5% to 7% target band. Adjusted EBITDA is seen roughly at break-even, give or take a few million, after backing out interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and some other items.
The index trade doesn’t guarantee an earnings recovery. Opendoor has flagged risk from housing-market softness, rates, inflation, volatile home prices, inventory, financing and its own ability to make money on its flips. If Russell buying misses estimates, or if those resale margins slip, the stock could drop back from here.
June index demand is the next thing to watch, to see if it keeps helping the shares. Investors will want to see if Q2 results actually show that quicker inventory turns are turning into stable profit. For now OPEN is trading like a stock with a calendar event but with its operating story still in question.
