Opendoor proposes reverse stock split to maintain Nasdaq listing

SAN FRANCISCO - Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:OPEN), an e-commerce platform for residential real estate trading at $0.68 per share, has announced its plans to potentially conduct a reverse stock split. The company, which InvestingPro analysis shows is currently undervalued, filed a preliminary proxy statement in preparation for a Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for July 28, 2025.

The proposal, recommended by Opendoor’s Board of Directors, suggests a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-50, with the precise ratio to be decided by the Board. This strategic move aims to enhance long-term shareholder value and ensure compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, according to Selim Freiha, CFO of Opendoor. The decision comes as the company faces significant challenges, with InvestingPro data revealing a substantial debt burden of $2.526 billion and a concerning cash burn rate.

The decision to implement the reverse stock split will depend on various factors, including market conditions and the trading price of Opendoor’s common stock, which has declined by 71% over the past year. Although the stockholders may approve the reverse stock split, the Board reserves the right to abandon the amendments if they are not deemed beneficial for the company and its stockholders.

The reverse stock split is subject to stockholder approval at the upcoming Special Meeting. The company has filed the preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and advises stockholders to review it for detailed information about the solicitation of proxies.
