Opendoor stock continues rally amid social media fueled frenzy, Eric Jackson says ‘it's worth $40 now'

Mint5 days ago
Opendoor Technologies Inc. stock continued its rally on Monday amid the social-media-fueled frenzy about the online platform for buying and selling US real estate.
As of 1:14 PM EDT, the stock jumped 93.78% at $4.36 in New York.
The surge started after Eric Jackson, founder of Toronto-based hedge fund EMJ Capital, praised the stock on social media platform X late last week.
On Friday, Jackson said in an interview that he's bullish on Opendoor because of its dedication to optimized profitability and how it manages costs and headcount.
In a viral post, he suggested that the stock price could rise one hundredfold to $82 per share.
Over the weekend, he posted his thoughts on why the stock should be trading at $40 per share right now.
"Everyone keeps asking me, 'What's $OPEN worth now?' We know it's worth $82 in a few years," Jackson wrote in a post on X.
"The answer is it's worth $40 now after they report a profitable quarter with hints that they're at steady -state profitability going forward," he added.
Roughly 340 million shares exchanged hands in Friday's intraday trading, more than 346% of the three-month average.
The company made its public market debut in 2020 by merging with a special purpose acquisition company.
Its stock price has slumped since a boom in early 2021. The stock was down 51% this year before Friday's jump.
Opendoor is set to report its second quarter results on August 6.
The company is expected to report a loss of 1 cent per share and revenue of $1.5 billion for the quarter, reported Benzinga.
But Jackson stated that if the company achieves steady-state profitability, its valuation should be higher, similar to Carvana.
"They'll do $5.75B in rev next year. They deserved a forward EV/Rev multiple of 5x like $CVNA $1.2B net debt $559M cash 723M shares They should be trading at $40 right now," he wrote.

After Aerospace, Quantum Computing Tussle Erupts Between Andhra Pradesh And Karnataka

Bengaluru: The two neighbouring states and the governments are at it once again. The competitive spirit between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka has now spilled into the realm of quantum technology, with a fresh war of words erupting between the two neighbours over the title of hosting India's first homegrown quantum computer. On July 25, Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu took to social media platform X to announce that Amaravati would soon deploy "India's first indigenously built 8-qubit quantum computer" by November, in collaboration with Bengaluru-based firm QpiAI and under the aegis of the National Quantum Mission. "Andhra Pradesh is set to deploy India's first indigenously built 8-qubit quantum computer this November in Amaravati, with support from QpiAI. This initiative, backed by the National Quantum Mission, aims to transform agriculture, water management, and healthcare," Mr Naidu had said in the social media post.

Mr Boseraju clarified that the first homegrown quantum computer by QpiAI has been operational in Bengaluru since April. "For the record: India's first Quantum computer built indigenously by QpiAI right here in Bengaluru, Karnataka began its commercial operations in April 2025. Let us stay rooted in facts and truth while celebrating progress," Mr Boseraju said.

Just a few days ago, minister Nara Lokesh had invited aerospace industries to invest in Andhra after the Karnataka government had to call off land acquisition in Devanahalli following protests by local farmer groups. "Dear Aerospace industry, sorry to hear about this. I have a better idea for you. Why don't you look at Andhra Pradesh instead? We have an attractive aerospace policy for you, with best-in-class incentives and over 8000 acres of ready-to-use land (just outside Bengaluru)! Hope to see you soon to talk across the table," he had said. This was countered by several ministers in Karnataka who defended how the state has a ready ecosystem for aerospace industries. "This is not just about land, this is an entire ecosystem that we provide, that's why top companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin etc prefer Bengaluru. If not Devanahalli, we will provide land elsewhere. I want to tell Nara Lokesh, he is looking to fish in troubled waters, but we will protect our interests," Industries Minister MB Patil had told NDTV.
