Stock price when the opinion was issued
OPEN is seeing a surge on a lot of media attention and hedge fund hype recently. On fund is hyping a 100X potential return so of course investors are paying attention on this.We would approach a name like this carefully. Revenues are far lower than where they were at the peak in 2022 and expected to further decline in 2025. The company also has negative earnings and negative operating cash flow. Momentum is most impressive in the stock, of course, with a 1000% three-month gain. This of course does not mean it cannot continue to do well, but it should be viewed as high risk and exceptionally speculative. Like any 'meme' stock, OPEN can be expected to swing 50% or more either way, even in a day. There is a 25% short interest. We would not endorse it on fundamentals.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly OPEN is a new player to the real estate sales platform space and it promises to be a disruptor. Its platform offers both residential buyers and sellers to transact. What makes it different from its competitors is that they actually purchase inventory, which allows it to not only profit on the fees from both sides, but also to capture arbitrage profits. Several on the management team come from Uber. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $19, looking to achieve at least $38.00 -- over 38% upside. This one has enormous upside potential.
