New York, Feb 11, 2026, 08:12 EST — Premarket
- Opendoor shares paused their slide in premarket trading, finding some footing after tumbling sharply the previous session.
- UBS left its rating unchanged but bumped up the price target, according to one analyst.
- Next week’s results, plus the management webcast, have investors lining up.
Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN) edged 0.8% higher ahead of the open on Wednesday, trading at $4.73. That uptick comes after a 5.1% drop the day before, when shares settled at $4.69.
Timing makes a difference here. Opendoor is a high-volatility play tied to U.S. housing demand and mortgage rates; traders usually move fast to reprice the stock ahead of earnings.
The company’s approach, known as iBuying, is straightforward: purchase homes outright, then flip them. But this setup doesn’t offer much wiggle room if borrowing costs shift or local prices soften.
UBS’s Stephen Ju bumped his price target on Opendoor up to $5 from $1.60 this day, sticking with a Neutral rating. The analyst described the company’s latest report as “another reset point.” But Ju also pointed out Opendoor has yet to deliver “positive unit economics”—meaning it needs to make money per home once direct costs are covered.

Opendoor shares swung from $5.08 to $4.69 on Tuesday, logging volume of roughly 46.9 million, Investing.com data showed. Activity ran strong throughout the session.
Beyond the stock itself, markets showed little movement. Early Wednesday saw S&P 500 futures edging higher by roughly 0.1%, as attention zeroed in on the postponed U.S. January jobs data—numbers that might reshape how traders are betting on rate policy.
Opendoor’s upcoming report puts the spotlight back on how it’s managing cash and inventory. Investors are likely to zero in on EBITDA—since that strips out interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization—looking for any sign of improvement.
They’re eyeing the time homes linger on Opendoor’s balance sheet, along with the funding costs tied to those properties. Even a slight move in home prices can quickly cut into resale margins.
The risk is clear enough: should demand weaken or prices drop, Opendoor could be forced to slash prices on its inventory, locking in losses and ramping up cash burn. Any sign it’s eyeing new capital would immediately revive dilution concerns.
Opendoor plans to post its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after markets close on Feb. 19, with a “Financial Open House” livestream scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET. Shareholders will be able to submit questions starting Feb. 12 through Robinhood’s Say Technologies platform. barchart.com
