Opendoor Shares Jump as Traders Flock to Newest Meme Stock

Opendoor Technologies Inc. jumped as much as 121% on Monday, extending its gravity-defying rally from last week, as investors continued to pile into the stock that has found a sudden fandom among retail traders and social-media platforms.

The stock’s triple-digit surge sent shares soaring to $4.97, well-above the $1 level it was bouncing around for the last few months. While shares in the online platform for buying and selling US real estate since pared their rally — closing around 43% higher — it’s still its sixth straight day of gains. Trading was briefly halted in the afternoon because of volatility.
