A super simple way to understand $OPEN revenue: 10 homes × 60% sold = 6 homes 6 × $300K average price = $1.8M revenue Scale that to 10,000 homes: 10,000 × 60% = 6,000 homes sold 6,000 × $300K = $1.8B revenue That’s why inventory matters. $OPEN generated less revenue in Q2 2026 as it has less home available in the inventory vs Q2 2025 period. (3420 vs 7080 homes) More homes acquired → more homes available to sell → more potential revenue. Now you know why @nejatian is focused on buying more homes.

This post is misleading because it ignores $OPEN inventory cycle caused by former management last year. In Q2 2025, $OPEN bought just 1,757 homes but sold 4,299. That $1.57B in revenue was largely supported by inventory built in prior quarters. The former management’s decision to under-acquire in 2025 also meant less inventory heading into 2026. Now the strategy has reversed: Q2 2026 purchases jumped ~143% YoY. But homes bought today don’t become revenue overnight. There’s a lag between acquisition, prep, listing and sale. So current revenue alone isn’t the right measure of the turnaround. And comparing it to Q2 2025 is misleading, given how that period was intentionally “beautified” by CW. The real test is whether higher 2026 acquisitions drive stronger sales, healthy contribution margins and profitable cohorts in the coming quarters. Most important for $OPEN: resale velocity in Q3 & Q4 2026.
The $OPEN gang didn't like me pointing out the company's operational disaster, but the Q2 earnings release were an incredible showing of reality distortion. Management: "Everything Is Up. Except Costs." Reality: Revenue fell 44% and operating loss was over 10x higher than a year ago. And for a company that's "not an iBuyer" they bought 149% more homes than a year ago and have $1.8 billion of inventory in the balance sheet. Ohh, and the stock is down 22% since my tweet. Cults can be great for a good business, but they're detrimental when the business doesn't match the story they tell themselves.

I love how we idolize CEOs with a turnaround plan, but don't scrutinize whether that turnaround plan is working. At Opendoor $OPEN, objectively, it isn't. Time and time again, we've seen that iBuying was a bad business model. Adding bells and whistles doesn't change that.

Opendoor is one of the most widely held stocks in America. I spoke with CEO Kaz @nejatian about the US economy, housing market, $OPEN, and the importance of retail shareholders. Enjoy!

We are building Opendoor Checkout. It is live in Texas and a couple of other states. It will take a few iterations to have it dialed in but we aspire to be as good to homes as ShopPay is for e-commerce.

Replying to @Opendoor
@Opendoor & @nejatian just made a very smart people bet. Renee Mauldin is stepping in as Chief People Officer — and this is a big win for $OPEN. Renee has built and scaled talent engines at some of the most demanding, high growth companies in tech: 🚕 Uber – as its first head of people & workplace during hypergrowth. 📽️ Project44 – helping scale a deeply technical, global org using AI. 💸 Nubank – supporting growth all the way to IPO. At @Opendoor, her mandate is clear: raise talent density so high that exceptional execution becomes inevitable. That means: 🏗️ Building teams that move fast with accountability. 🏦 Hiring deeply technical, builder-minded leaders. 👩‍💻 Designing org systems that reward shipping, transparency, and outcomes. 🏠 Creating a culture where curiosity isn’t optional — and homeowners win. As @Opendoor works to remove friction from one of life’s biggest financial decisions, leadership like this matters. People strategy is product strategy at this stage. Renee Mauldin strengthens the foundation for what comes next at $OPEN. Welcome Renee 🏡 S/O to @MarkLStonk for the news 🚨
Welcome $OPEN new CPO — Renee Mauldin. From Uber → Nubank → project44, she brings a strong track record of building the people systems and strategy behind major tech and growth companies. A solid leadership addition on people side as @nejatian transforms the business 💪🏻
