Opendoor Extends Rally on Rate-Cut Hopes as Interim Leader Buys Shares

An after-hours rise followed insider buying by the interim chief.

Overview

  • Shares climbed 3.7% after hours to $4.43 following a 6.2% gain to $4.27 at Thursday's close.
  • Interim principal executive officer Shrisha Radhakrishna disclosed purchasing 30,000 shares on Thursday at $4.27 and $4.42, bringing his holdings to about 4.28 million shares.
  • The move caps a volatile stretch driven by growing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, including a Tuesday surge of 16.3% that settled at $4.70.
  • A technical ceiling near $4.85 continues to attract sellers, repeatedly stalling rallies over the past two years.
  • Analysts point to Opendoor’s rate-sensitive iBuying model and a newly touted AI, multi-product roadmap as supports, with leadership in transition following Carrie Wheeler’s resignation.
