Opendoor Stock Surges Amid Praise, Criticism, And Pullbacks
Opendoor Technologies has been in the news for various reasons. The company’s stock has been on a roller-coaster ride, with significant fluctuations in its value.
In September, a legendary hedge fund manager George Noble called Opendoor Technologies a “total clown show” despite its stock rallying over 640% since its all-time low in late June.
However, the stock experienced a pullback after a mid-week rally, which was ignited by a U.S. Census Bureau report showing August new home sales soared 20.5% from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 800,000.
More recently, Eric Jackson, the founder of EMJ Capital, drew attention to a stock purchase by Rep. Cleo Fields (D-La.) with a social media post reading, “Paging Nancy Pelosi about OPEN,” referencing the Congressman’s new investment in Opendoor Technologies Inc.
