High Short Interest Alert
Opendoor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: OPEN) is currently experiencing significant short-selling pressure. As of October 20, 2026, ORTEX estimates that 24.1% of the company's free float is sold short. This high level of short interest, coupled with a days-to-cover ratio of 6.8, indicates a crowded short position that could be sensitive to market volatility.
Cost to Borrow and Market Sentiment
The average cost to borrow for OPEN shares is currently 0.72%. While this is not an extreme fee, the high percentage of float shorted makes the stock a candidate for monitoring regarding potential squeeze setups. Investors should note that these figures are daily estimates and provide a more timely picture than the bi-monthly FINRA reports, which are subject to an 8-day reporting lag.
