Home Depot Earnings Show Housing Stress for Wall Street

Home Depot Earnings Show Housing Stress for Wall Street

Home Depot left its 2026 outlook unchanged on Tuesday. First-quarter revenue topped Wall Street views, but comparable sales came in below forecasts. The retailer is still seeing little benefit from the housing rebound. Shares edged up before the bell. Home Depot’s numbers give an early sign of whether U.S. homeowners are spending as the retail earnings season ramps up. Lowe’s will report Wednesday. Target and Walmart follow later in the week, and both will show if shoppers are still handling higher prices or starting to cut back.

Yen Intervention Fades Fast as USD/JPY Snaps Back Toward 158

Yen Intervention Fades Fast as USD/JPY Snaps Back Toward 158

USD/JPY bounced back toward 158 on Tuesday after tumbling to 156.75, a sharp drop that reignited Bank of Japan chatter. By 12:45 GMT, the pair was parked near 157.55. ForexFactory clocked the move at close to 100 pips—about one yen for this currency pair—before it drifted around 157.06. The jolt is significant: Tokyo’s latest push to shore up the yen runs right into U.S. numbers that keep the dollar buoyant. U.S. consumer prices climbed 0.6% in April and 3.8% over the past year, with markets now assuming the Fed will stick to its 3.50%-3.75% rate band through 2027.

Opendoor Stock Faces a Hard Profit Test as CEO Says Turnaround Is Working

Opendoor Stock Faces a Hard Profit Test as CEO Says Turnaround Is Working

Shares of Opendoor Technologies Inc. slipped Monday, trading recently at $4.88—off about 2.6%—after CEO Kaz Nejatian insisted the company has patched a key weakness in its approach. Investors looked past that assurance, focusing instead on a first-quarter loss that more than doubled year-over-year. Volume topped 30 million shares, putting market capitalization near $4.68 billion. It's not just the big loss—the real test now is whether Opendoor can pull off its plan. The company says it’s aiming for about breakeven adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and some other costs. That’s a critical point, since Opendoor is still buying homes and holding inventory, reselling those properties into a sluggish housing market. Every extra day a home sits unsold chips away at the company’s margins.

Why Arbor Realty Trust Stock Is Falling: Dividend Cut, Weak Q1 Earnings Put ABR Loan Book in Focus

Why Arbor Realty Trust Stock Is Falling: Dividend Cut, Weak Q1 Earnings Put ABR Loan Book in Focus

Shares of Arbor Realty Trust slid roughly 11% Friday, with the commercial mortgage REIT trimming its quarterly common dividend and posting first-quarter results that offered scant cushion for its credit cleanup efforts. The stock last traded at $7.29, after hitting a session low of $7.02. Uniondale, New York’s Arbor Realty Trust posted net income attributable to common stockholders of just $629,000 for the quarter, translating to $0.00 per diluted share.

OPEN Stock Drops as Opendoor’s Bigger Q1 Loss Tests Turnaround Hopes

OPEN Stock Drops as Opendoor’s Bigger Q1 Loss Tests Turnaround Hopes

Shares of Opendoor Technologies Inc. slid Friday, with the stock last trading at $5.08, down roughly 4.5%. The online real estate firm reported a deeper first-quarter loss, which overshadowed a revenue beat and new evidence that its home-buying process is picking up speed. This is a big deal for Opendoor, which needs to show its revamped iBuying model—snapping up homes with fast cash offers, then flipping them—can ramp up without piling on unwanted properties. Acquisition contracts hit more than 5,000 for the quarter, the company said, not just doubling Q4 but marking the highest since 2022. Homes purchased climbed 45% from last quarter.

Opendoor Q1 Earnings Beat Wall Street — But OPEN Stock’s Bigger Test Starts Now

Opendoor Q1 Earnings Beat Wall Street — But OPEN Stock’s Bigger Test Starts Now

Opendoor Technologies surprised Wall Street with stronger first-quarter revenue, pushing the company to predict adjusted EBITDA breakeven for Q2—a milestone for its turnaround effort. Still, the headlines weren’t all positive: sales dropped 38% year over year, and its GAAP net loss deepened to $173 million. This report lands at a critical moment for Opendoor, which is under pressure to show its iBuying model—quick online home purchases, rapid resales—can survive in a sluggish housing market. Freddie Mac pegged the average 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.37% this week, a number high enough to put buyers on edge and make each property sale count.

Lennar Corporation’s New-Homes Bet Runs Into the Mortgage-Rate Wall

Lennar Corporation’s New-Homes Bet Runs Into the Mortgage-Rate Wall

Shares of Lennar Corporation slipped 0.5% to $90.09 in early New York trading Thursday. The Miami homebuilder is accelerating new home offerings, though investors remained fixated on mortgage rates, Treasury yields, and how spring demand shapes up. Timing plays a key role here. Spring is typically when U.S. builders like Lennar gauge true buyer appetite, and for Lennar, keeping sales flowing has become central—even as affordability remains stretched. The most recent Freddie Mac weekly survey, released ahead of midday Thursday, pegged the 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.30%. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield hovered around 4.33%, having dipped back on May 7.

The results mark an initial vote of confidence from investors in Compass’s acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate. Compass is under the gun to show its January buyout of Anywhere was about more than just bulking up. By turning Anywhere into a wholly owned subsidiary, Compass snagged a big roster of brokerage and franchise brands—a move that lands while home sales are still feeling the crunch.

Realty Income Stock Just Stumbled Before Earnings. The Dividend Test Comes Next

Realty Income Stock Just Stumbled Before Earnings. The Dividend Test Comes Next

Realty Income Corp. dropped 1.17% to finish Friday at $63.33, trailing both the broader U.S. market and much of its real estate sector rivals as investors looked ahead to the company’s first-quarter numbers due next month. Kimco Realty, Regency Centers, and Federal Realty posted smaller declines. Realty Income now trades 6.78% under its 52-week high from Feb. 27, according to market data. This gets attention now because Realty Income ranks among the most closely tracked U.S. income names, with its next earnings due as investors continue to gauge dividend payouts versus rising borrowing costs. The San Diego real estate investment trust said it'll report first-quarter 2026 numbers after the New York Stock Exchange wraps up trading on May 6. An investor call follows at 2 p.m. PDT.

Mortgage Rates Fall Again, Homebuyers Return — but Bay Area Prices Stay Above $2 Million

Mortgage Rates Fall Again, Homebuyers Return — but Bay Area Prices Stay Above $2 Million

Mortgage rates in the U.S. slipped for another week, prompting a comeback from homebuyers: loan applications for purchases jumped roughly 10% just as the spring selling period hits its stride. Freddie Mac pegged the 30-year fixed at 6.30%, a notch down from last week's 6.37%. CNBC, referencing Mortgage Bankers Association figures, put the average rate for the standard 30-year loan at 6.35%, compared with 6.42% before. That’s important with contracts already picking up even ahead of this week’s drop in rates. Pending home sales—which count signed agreements still waiting to close—ticked up 1.5% in March. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, described the move as a sign of “pent-up housing demand.”

Opendoor Technologies stock jumps as housing data beats ahead of May 7 earnings

Opendoor Technologies Inc. climbed roughly 5.6% Tuesday afternoon, outperforming most housing stocks after upbeat U.S. pending home sales figures. Traders also have their eyes on the company’s upcoming Q1 results slated for May 7. Shares were recently at $5.65, off session highs of $5.99. This shift hits as the spring selling season ramps up—a key window for Opendoor. The company offloads homes from its own stock and operates a marketplace where sellers can close deals without Opendoor ever holding the deed. Now, the spotlight is on the next earnings report. Investors are looking for signs the turnaround is holding, with mortgage rates and buyers’ budgets still putting a lid on activity.

U.S. Mortgage Applications Rise as Rates Hit One-Month Low, but Buyers Stay Cautious

UPDATE April 15, 2026, 22:55 - U.S. mortgage applications rose 1.8% in the latest week, marking the first increase in five weeks as 30-year mortgage rates eased to about 6.42%, a one-month low. Refinancing activity jumped more than 5%, but home purchase applications fell around 1%, underscoring continued caution among buyers. Economists say demand remains constrained by economic uncertainty and affordability pressures, even as lower rates provide some relief. U.S. mortgage applications broke a five-week losing streak, climbing 1.8% in the week ending April 10, as interest rates dipped to their lowest point in a month. Average rates for a 30-year conforming loan slipped to 6.42% from 6.51%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. That small drop in rates nudged refinance applications up 5%. But demand for purchase loans edged down 1%.
