Open -Hand The shares were hit by about 10% on Friday, after CEO Carrie Wheeler announced that they have recently stepped down from the online property company, which recently increased from retail investors.

The pressure began to build on Wheeler, which took over the top job in 2022 after the company's quarterly winning report at the beginning of this month did not calm investors that a turnaround was underway. The stock has increased more than six times since 51 cents from the low point at 51 cents, which runs the risk from the risk of being triggered from NASDAQ.

“In the last few weeks of intensive external interest on OpenDoor, came at a time when the company must remain concentrated and calculated forward,” wrote Wheeler in one position on X.

The Opendoor business includes the use of technology for buying and selling houses and places the profits. In his latest earnings report, OpenDoor expects that it only acquired 1,200 houses in the third quarter, from 1,757 in the second quarter and in the third quarter of 2024.

The hedge fund manager Eric Jackson, who headed the Share jump from OpenDoor in July, celebrated the news and told his new Followers gang on X: “Let's think again.” Jackson said on X last month that his company had taken part in the company and bet that it would be a “100 excavator” in the next few years.

Jackson was a loud voice at X, which pushed on Wheeler's departure, and was recently accompanied by the OpenDoor co-founder and risk capital Keith Rabois, who on August 13th “not a single founder nor managers” who led the company to his IPO support Wheeler as CEO.

On Friday, Opendoor appointed the head of technology Shrisha Radhakrishna as “president and interim guide” and said that a CEO search was in progress.

In 2020, OpenDoor went to the stock exchange through a Special Purpose Acquisition Company and drove with a Spac wave that was supported by low interest rates and euphoria from the Kovid era. The increasing inflation and the rising interest rates that followed met all technology shares, but had an oversized impact on OpenDoor because it is direct mortgage interest.

The company lost 99% of its value from early 2021 to his trough in June. With the profits on Friday, the market capitalization is around 2.5 billion US dollars.
