NEW YORK, September 6,โ 2023 – Opendoor Technologies Inc.

Teh stock reached a new โ52-week high of $5.14 per share.
The upgrade reflects JPMorgan’sโ increasedโข confidence in Opendoor’s ability to navigateโ the challengingโ housing market andโ capitalizeโฃ on potential opportunities. This positive โคmomentum builds on a strongโฃ year for โฃthe company, which has seen its shares climb 223%โ since the beginning of 2023.
addingโข to the excitement,Opendoor’s new interim โpresident,Shrisha Radhakrishna,recently purchased โค30,000 shares,a move that followed the departure of former CEO Carrie Wheeler and was โฃseen by the market as a vote of confidenceโ in the company’s new โdirection.
Opendoor’s shares are extremely volatile โand have had 90 moves greater than 5% over โฃthe last year. However, moves ofโ this magnitude are rare evenโข for opendoor, indicating the significant โimpact of this โขnewsโค on market โperception.

Powellโค suggested โpotential interest rate cuts as inflationโข risks moderated and unemployment remained low, boosting investor โconfidence and triggering a broadโ market rally.
