Despite the enthusiasm, Opendoor has significant financial troubles. The company's top line has plummeted from its height in 2022. The company's current annual run rate is well under a third of its 2022 sales. Opendoor has also never turned a profit and has significant negative cash flow.

Opendoor stock took off last Monday after Eric Jackson, founder of EMJ Capital, announced his firm had taken a position in the company and said the stock “could be a 100-bagger over the next few years.” The term refers to stocks that return $100 for every $1 invested.
