Today, one of the interesting movements we’re seeing in the market is with Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN).

Aside from macro tailwinds taking most stocks higher, Opendoor has its own catalysts. This technology company has become one of the interesting ways investors have played the surge in residential home prices. This technology company has become one of the key players in the “iBuying” market. That is, Opendoor uses its proprietary algorithmic technology to buy and sell homes on the open market.

In bull markets, this strategy tends to outperform. Buying more homes as prices surge tends to result in more profits. However, the backdrop of rising interest rates have put investors on the defensive with such stocks. Accordingly, OPEN stock has underperformed for some time, losing nearly two-thirds of its value over the past year.

Today, concerns around rising interest rates have abated somewhat, with macroeconomic conditions improving. Accordingly, companies such as Opendoor that are highly sensitive to interest rates are rallying.

Let’s take a look as to whether the analysts think now is the time to jump into this stock.
