Opendoor Technologies Inc. shares ended Tuesday at $4.34, up 0.8%. The stock moved in a $4.09 to $4.56 range while investors traded ahead of the online home seller’s addition to the Russell 3000. Opendoor saw roughly 39.7 million shares change hands. Its market cap stood at $4.16 billion.
Timing is key. FTSE Russell’s latest reconstitution takes effect after the U.S. close on June 26. Updates are expected before then. The reshuffle can pull in demand from passive funds that track the benchmarks. But being added to the index does not impact the business itself.
Home sales in the U.S. climbed in May, with existing home sales up 3.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.17 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. That’s the best level since December and topped forecasts from economists. “More Americans are on the move,” said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun. Reuters
Opendoor benefits from anything that helps home deals move and keeps resale times short. But mortgage rates are still an issue. Freddie Mac said the average 30-year fixed mortgage was 6.48% on June 4, just under last week’s 6.53% but still sitting in the mid-6% range.
Trading was choppy. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust dipped roughly 0.3%, but the iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF climbed 2.4%. Zillow Group, one of the bigger online real estate names, added about 3.0%.
Offerpad started split-adjusted trading in the cash-offer homebuyer segment after a 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The company said the reverse split groups shares to boost the per-share price, while holders keep the same percentage ownership. Offerpad also said this was to meet NYSE continued-listing price rules.
Opendoor calls itself an e-commerce platform for buying and selling homes. The company’s Cash Offer program allows people to sell their homes right to Opendoor for cash. Cash Plus, another option, gives sellers a way to sell to the company but still have a chance at some of the resale gain.
Opendoor’s Q1 numbers put two tracks in front of investors. The company posted revenue of $720 million in the first quarter, down from $1.15 billion a year ago. Net loss widened too, hitting $173 million versus $85 million. The home inventory count dropped to 3,420 from 7,080. For Q2, Opendoor guided to adjusted EBITDA breakeven, citing a measure that leaves out interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and various other costs. “The machine is working,” CEO Kaz Nejatian said. Opendoor Technologies Inc.
The trade isn’t without risk. Opendoor, in its latest quarterly filing, flagged issues including housing-market swings, mortgage-rate moves, inflation, home prices, inventory, access to capital, and whether it can keep making money buying and reselling homes. If rates climb or resale prices slip, higher deal volume may not help much.
Opendoor’s next scheduled event is its virtual annual meeting on June 11 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific, where shareholders will vote on board seats, auditor approval, and advise on exec pay. But the more significant date for markets is June 26, when Russell rebalancing hits after the close.
