Is this normal for this company?
Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.
Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does Opendoor Technologies Inc. do?
The company acts as a digital property middleman, buying houses straight from tired owners and flipping them onto the open market for a fee. Cash flows primarily from taking a service charge on these rapid transactions, meaning it relies heavily on a bustling housing market. The critical watch-point is whether it can navigate shifting property prices without taking heavy losses on the bricks and mortar sitting on its digital books.

Does Opendoor Technologies Inc. pay a dividend?

What do Opendoor Technologies Inc.'s numbers mean?
How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
How much has Opendoor Technologies Inc. actually fallen?
Over the last 2 years of daily prices, Opendoor Technologies Inc. fell as much as −80% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
How has it done year by year?
Calendar-year total return - the share price with dividends reinvested - from adjusted closing prices. The current year is only part-complete. Past returns are not a guide to the future.

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.
