Powell confirms rate cut is here

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell confirmed today that the central bank will cut the federal funds rate by 0.25%. Rate cuts generally boost equities across the board, but as a real estate company, Opendoor's bottom line is directly impacted by interest rates. Lowered rates will help improve the company's margins.

Opendoor still has to prove its business model can work

While the digital real estate disruptor operates in a market with genuine potential for innovation, the economics of its model remain unproven. The company is operating at a loss and relies heavily on debt, making it sensitive to interest rates, and the real estate market doesn't look particularly strong. I would avoid Opendoor stock.
