What Happened?
Shares of technology real estate company Opendoor (NASDAQ: OPEN) jumped 5.9% in the afternoon session after SRx Health Solutions announced it invested in the residential real estate technology company, viewing its shares as undervalued.
The investment was part of SRx Health's capital allocation strategy to deploy excess cash into what it considered undervalued public companies to capture better risk-adjusted returns. SRx Health stated that it believed Opendoor's technology-enabled platform, market position, and long-term growth potential aligned with its investment goals. The move by another public company to use its own treasury funds to buy Opendoor's stock was seen as a significant vote of confidence, suggesting corporate validation that the asset was undervalued.
The shares closed the day at $6.67, up 5.8% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us
Opendoor’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 109 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 8 days ago when the stock gained 5.2% on the news that the stock rebounded from a sharp drop during the last trading session, which was triggered by a proposal to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes.
The previous day's sell-off affected several housing-related stocks after President Donald Trump announced his intention to implement the ban. However, Opendoor's CEO, Kaz Nejatian, responded to the market concerns by clarifying the company's business model. Nejatian stated, "We're not institutional investors, our job is to help people buy homes. We don't hold the homes!" This clarification seemed to ease investor fears that the proposed policy would harm the company's operations. The recovery also came amid reports of positive business developments and an expansion of the company's operational capabilities.
Opendoor is up 9.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $6.67 per share, it is still trading 36.6% below its 52-week high of $10.52 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Opendoor’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $236.86.
