Why Is Opendoor (OPEN) Stock Rocketing Higher Today
What Happened:Shares of technology real estate company Opendoor (NASDAQ:OPEN) jumped 25.2% in the morning session after the company reported first-quarter results that beat analysts' revenue and adjusted EBITDA expectations, with the latter beating by a convincing amount. The top line benefited from strong acquisition volumes as Opendoor acquired 3,458 homes in Q1 (up 98% versus Q1'2023). The momentum is expected to extend to Q2, given seasonality tailwinds, which should result in home purchases of over 4,500 homes. While its revenue guidance for the next quarter was underwhelming, adjusted EBITDA guidance for the period was well above. Overall, we think this was a really good quarter that should please shareholders.
