Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Opendoor Technologies Inc. (“Opendoor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OPEN) investors who purchased: (a) securities between December 21, 2020 and September 16, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”); and/or (b) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents issued in connection with the business combination between the Company and Opendoor Labs Inc. completed on or about December 18, 2020. Opendoor investors have until December 6, 2022 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Opendoor investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On September 19, 2022, Bloomberg reported that Opendoor appeared to have lost money on 42% of its transactions in August 2022, further stating that data was even worse in key markets, where Opendoor lost money on up to 76% of sales. The findings evidenced the failure of Opendoor’s algorithm to accurately adjust to changing market conditions.
On this news, Opendoor’s stock fell $0.50, or 12.3%, over the next two consecutive trading days, to close at $3.56 per share on September 20, 2022, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the algorithm used by the Company to make offers for homes could not accurately adjust to changing house prices across different market conditions and economic cycles; (2) as a result, the Company was at an increased risk of sustaining significant and repeated losses due to residential real estate pricing fluctuations; (3) accordingly, Defendants overstated the purported benefits and competitive advantages of the algorithm; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased Opendoor securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
