Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. 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.

Digital home flipping becomes the mainstream method for buying and selling houses across America.
Traditional estate agents prove too resilient and online flipping fails to achieve sustainable profits.
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.
