The market saw a miss today but didn't actually listen $OPEN.
Kaz delivered on the operational goals: more acquisitions, lower costs, improving margins, and a clear path toward profitability. AI is changing the economics of this business faster than many realize.
Pumped up.
Every quarter they seem more focused on execution and long-term value.
I think the market is still valuing the old Opendoor. A year from now, I think this company looks very different.
The market hated the earnings. Papi here didn't.
I've honestly never been more bullish on $OPEN.
They're no longer just betting on the housing market. They're building a better product. AI is making the entire transaction faster, smarter, and more efficient.
$OPEN reported $883M in Q2 revenue (up 23% QoQ)

@sophiadew@vu0tran@yang_guo How can you not love these guys, this team and this mission. Longterm nothing has changed. Just even clearer than before. It should be $5+ right now no doubt. Big things coming next year! Godspeed π«‘ $OPEN
@CapitanSteveo Its funny to see people buy OpenZ at these levels over OpenL. Its so close in price. Only a few cents different. Makes no sense for people to do that. $openW is the goat tho.
@CapitanSteveo Roger that. You have a juicy bag and when you bought shares at that low of a price why leverage? Whats your price prediction come this fall?
