Opendoor (OPEN) Short Interest Overview
Opendoor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: OPEN) remains a focal point for short sellers, with current estimates placing short interest at 24.1% of the free float. As of October 20, 2026, the days-to-cover ratio stands at 6.8, indicating that it would take nearly a full week of average trading volume for short sellers to cover their positions.
The average cost to borrow (CTB) for OPEN shares is currently 0.72%. While this fee is relatively modest, the high percentage of float held short suggests a persistent bearish conviction among institutional traders. Traders should note that these figures are Ortex estimates, which provide a more timely look at the market than the stale, bi-monthly FINRA reports. The combination of high short interest and a significant days-to-cover metric makes this a name to watch for potential squeeze volatility.
