Analysis · OPEN · Real Estate & Construction
Opendoor's Q2 loss more than quintupled year-over-year to $162 million, driven by a surge in stock-based compensation tied to executive market-condition RSUs. While gross margins improved, the company aggressively expanded its home inventory to $1.85 billion, consuming $964 million in operating cash in the first half. With $896 million in cash remaining and $197 million in convertible notes due or convertible within months, the balance sheet is under pressure. The market will focus on whether the inventory bet pays off or leads to further cash strain.
