As I get older, I'm becoming more and more a fan of dividend-paying stocks -- for both their rather reliable income and also their stock-price-appreciation potential. Still, it's hard not to get intrigued and excited about powerful growth stocks.

Opendoor Technologies (OPEN 0.42%) runs one of the biggest real estate direct buying operations in the U.S., which involves purchasing homes from willing sellers and attempting to flip them for a profit. This business model works great when the housing market is strong, but elevated interest rates have made the last few years extremely difficult for the company.

Real estate technology company Opendoor (OPEN 0.42%) has soared in recent months, and the stock reacted very positively when it hired Kaz Nejatian, former COO of Shopify (SHOP 0.86%), as its new CEO. But can Nejatian figure out how to take the company to the next level?

OPEN posts $1.6B in Q2 revenues and EBITDA profit as its AI-powered platform reshapes real estate transactions.

Opendoor Technologies stock (NASDAQ: OPEN) recently experienced a significant drop, falling 27.7% from $10.21 on September 17, 2025, to its current price of $7.38.

In June of this year, Opendoor Technologies (OPEN -4.03%) stock was trading at an all-time low of $0.51. But it has staged an eye-popping 1,370% rally since then, fueled by a social media-led frenzy among retail investors, and it trades at $7.50 as I write this.

Most investors understand that investing in stocks isn't a get-rich-quick endeavor. Although the market is the most reliable and rewarding means of using capital to build real wealth, it can take years -- even decades -- to fully reap those rewards.
