Opendoor Surges on CEO’s $1 Million Share Buy and Warrant Dividend Plan, Then Gives Back Gains

The market is weighing a warrant dividend, a pivot to software with a marketplace model, continuing quarterly losses.

Overview

  • CEO Kasra Nejatian disclosed the purchase of 125,000 shares for about $1.004 million at $8.0365 each in an SEC filing.
  • Shares jumped more than 10% following the filing and strategy messaging before slipping about 7% Thursday as property-tech sentiment cooled after a peer’s miss.
  • The company set a November 18 record date and November 21 payment for a warrant dividend granting one Series K, A, and Z warrant per 30 shares at $9, $13, and $17 exercise prices, with planned listings as OPENW, OPENL, and OPENZ and expiration on November 20, 2026.
  • Opendoor reported Q3 revenue of $915 million, topping guidance, while net loss widened to roughly $90 million as gross profit fell.
  • Management is shifting toward a less balance-sheet-intensive marketplace and software/AI model, with analysts split and JPMorgan keeping an Overweight rating with an $8 2026 target.
