Opendoor stock soars 50% after company names new CEO

Opendoor's leadership overhaul includes Shopify's Kaz Nejatian as CEO and co-founders returning to the board, contributing to a 470% year-to-date stock gain amid investor activism.

  • Opendoor Technologies named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as its new CEO and welcomed back Keith Rabois and Eric Wu—both original founders—to the company’s board today.
  • This change follows Carrie Wheeler's resignation last month due to investor pressure and a need to reshape the company culture and strategy.
  • Rabois described the culture as broken, citing remote work and a bloated workforce, and vowed to slash headcount to under 200 employees.
  • Opendoor’s shares surged more than 56%, reaching a 52-week high of $9.43, a rise driven by leadership news and investor enthusiasm.
  • The leadership changes aim to revive founder principles and integrate AI to improve home transactions, potentially boosting Opendoor’s adaptability amid market challenges.
