Opendoor Technologies (OPEN +9.58%) stock got hit with waves of sell-offs over the past week of trading. The company's share price ended the stretch down 16.9% from where it stood at the end of the previous week's market close.
While there wasn't any major, business-specific news dragging the stock lower, the iBuyer real-estate specialist's share price moved lower as investors moved out of speculative investments. Despite the double-digit sell-off this week, Opendoor is still up 322% in 2025.

Opendoor stock sank as investors adopted risk-off trading
Investors sold out of stocks in response to macroeconomic and geopolitical risk factors. Concerns that valuations for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are in a bubble also had spillover effects across the market.
Even with a recovery rally in Friday's trading, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite ended the week's trading down 2% and 2.7%, respectively. Concerns that the Federal Reserve may opt to keep interest rates at their current levels despite signs of a weakening economy were at the heart of the sell-offs, but there have recently been some shifts when it comes to the outlook on that front.

What's next for Opendoor?
While macroeconomic concerns drove big sell-offs across much of this week's trading, investors have recently become more confident that the Federal Reserve will vote to institute another quarter-point cut for interest rates when it meets next month. If a cut does arrive, that would be good news for Opendoor and other high-risk, speculative stocks. Investors and analysts now think it's likely that the Fed will cut rates next month, but the company still has a lot of proving to do in order to justify the big valuation gains it's posted in this year's trading.
