People still don’t get how huge $OPEN can be.
Just from iBuying alone — before mortgage, title, AI, or international — this is a $315+/share stock. Let me show you the math 🧵👇
In 2024, the U.S. had ~4M existing home sales.
Opendoor sold ~13.5K homes.
That’s just 0.3% national market share.
Even at that sliver of share, OPEN generated $5.2B in revenue and $400M in gross profit.
Normalize the housing market back to 5M transactions/year. (Recall 2021 was over 6M existing home sales)

If OPEN captured 10% share → that’s 500,000 homes sold annually. (Recall that Kaz has said that’s the goal which was also Elon’s Tesla goal)
OPEN’s 2024 unit economics:
•Revenue per home ≈ $385K
•Gross profit per home ≈ $30K
•Gross margin ≈ 7.7%

At 500K homes → $192B revenue and $15B gross profit.
Now apply realistic public market multiples:
•At 15.42× Market Cap/Gross Profit (where $CVNA currently trades but it will likely keep going up),
•$15B × 15.42 = $228B market cap.
Divide that by today’s ~723M shares outstanding →
That’s about $315/share.
And remember:
👉 This is just iBuying.
👉 No mortgage or title fees layered on.
👉 No headcount reductions.
👉 No international expansion.

Those levers all add massive upside.
This is why I say:
$OPEN is not a meme stock. It’s a cult stock.
It’s a compounding platform with clear line-of-sight to $315/share on iBuying alone.
Everything else is gravy.

YOU’RE NOT BULLISH ENOUGH ABOUT $OPEN

Today, I spoke with Raunaq Singh of ROAM (ex-Opendoor for 4 years and $UBER Ops for 2+ years).
We did the math.
If $OPEN goes “fully AI,” ditches iBuying, and goes all-in on an asset-lite model and articulated its strategy fully to Wall St…
…its shares should be trading at $58/share TODAY - not $3.
(Thread 🧵)
US residential real estate = $20T market
$14T of that tied to mortgages.
Carvana is valued as a $41B company equivalent in cars.
Opendoor can be the same in housing if it executes.
Work backwards from that.
The playbook:
•Shut down iBuying (no more balance sheet risk, no holding costs; people bitch and moan “no one can make money from iBuying and you carry the inventory; fine, get rid of it)
•Fully embrace AI and go AI native will all the efficiencies that flow from that (think AI inspections and no more days of 60 people taking 3 days to write a tweet and blog post for the CEO)
•Asset-lite model (cash offer only as a reserve price)
•Agents + Financing attach (seller funnel is the gold mine)

Everyone thinks $OPEN is a low-margin house flipper.
What they’re missing is the sleeping giant:
Opendoor is sitting on the most valuable untapped dataset in U.S. residential real estate.
And with the right AI partner (OpenAI, Palantir, Grok)… it’s game over.

🧵👇The AI Opportunity for OPEN
Opendoor has executed 200,000+ real estate transactions.
That means they own:
•Actual buy/sell prices
•Home condition data
•Repair outcomes
•Customer behavior
•Local market volatility
•Micro-macro trends across time and space

Zillow only sees listings.
Opendoor sees the truth.
Now imagine feeding that into GPT-4, Palantir Foundry, or xAI’s Grok.

You get:
•The best home pricing engine ever built
•Real-time market risk dashboards
•AI tools for agents, banks, and investors
•SaaS APIs that make Zestimate look like a toy

I’m Eric Jackson. I run @EMJCapital. Our AUM is small right now—but not for long.

I’ve been knocked down, fired, humbled, and told to quit. But I’ve rebuilt with a strategy I know works: finding the next generation of 10x, 50x, and 100x stocks before anyone else.
I launched EMJ in 2016 with backing from a well-known and smart billionaire who liked my calls (from TheStreet & Forbes) and said:
“You spot companies before anyone else. I’ll back you.”

We crushed it for 3.5 years… then had 2 brutal years. He redeemed at the end of 2022.
Translation: he fired me for losing him too much money.
99.5% of my AUM walked out the door overnight.

It was gutting. Dark thoughts: Am I losing my family? My house? My reputation?

Running a fund is Darwinian—you’re only as good as your last month. I almost shut it all down. My wife & accountant told me to. But I didn’t.

$OPEN is up 98% this week.
Volume exploding.
Back on the CNBC crawl.
But this move didn’t come out of nowhere.
Here’s how it started — and where it could be headed 👇
A few weeks ago, $OPEN was trading under $1.
No coverage.
No momentum.
But I saw something in the AI data… and I shared my thesis publicly.
Right here. On X.
That post lit the fuse.
Interest surged.
Social mentions spiked.
Retail showed up.
Volume followed.
Now we’re watching a full-blown re-rating — in real time.

$OPEN fam (and fans of $IREN $CIFR $BTQQF $ETHA): The support these last few days has truly blown me away.
Let me share what I stand for — and where we’re heading together 🧵
Whether you’re investing $10 or $10 million, you’re part of the EMJ Family now.
This is a place where everyone deserves a shot at financial freedom.
I’m not a time traveler.
I don’t have all the answers.
I’ve made money for people and lost money for people.
Losing money for people really really sucks.
I’ll always give you my best opinion — with honesty, conviction, and care.

There will be ups and downs.
It’s not always green. But I’ll never stop showing up.

Over the last month, my X impressions have exploded talking about $BTQQF $IREN and $CIFR because everyone is looking for the next $CVNA.
We think we just found another.
@EMJCapital has taken a position in $OPEN — and we believe it could be a 100-bagger over the next few years. Here’s why 🧵
Opendoor is under $1.
Most investors have written it off.
Wall Street isn’t even paying attention anymore.
But our AI model at @EMJCapital just flagged it a few weeks ago.
It’s giving us early $CVNA vibes — and that’s not a phrase I use lightly.
Remember when $CVNA was circling the drain at $3 in 2022?
Wall Street was convinced it was going bankrupt.
But they cut costs, stabilized, and the stock went up 100x.
Now it’s back at a $40B market cap.
$OPEN might be on the same path — just earlier then when we first got into Carvana at $11.
