Opendoor,这家曾位列财富500强的在线房地产公司,目前由CEO Carrie Wheeler领导。尽管公司近期面临挑战,包括一度濒临退市,但其股价在过去一周内飙升超过400%,吸引了Reddit散户的关注。然而,公司早期参与者之一的Keith Rabois公开质疑Wheeler的领导能力,引发了关于女性CEO在聚光灯下所面临压力的讨论。这篇文章探讨了Opendoor的现状,以及女性领导者在商业世界中可能遇到的独特挑战。

🏠 **Opendoor的近期表现与Reddit关注**:Opendoor是一家在线房地产买卖和翻新公司,曾是财富500强成员。尽管近期股价大幅上涨(超过400%),但仍处于较低水平。该公司的股票受到Reddit散户的追捧,他们可能看到了华尔街未意识到的价值,这使得Opendoor成为继GameStop之后又一个由Reddit推动的“模因股”。

👩‍💼 **女性CEO面临的挑战**:Opendoor的CEO Carrie Wheeler是少数几位在Reddit热门股票中出现的女性领导者之一。文章指出,成为“模因股”中的一部分并不容易,而作为一名女性CEO,更可能面临额外的审视和压力。公司早期投资者Keith Rabois公开质疑Wheeler的能力,并呼吁更换CEO,这反映了对女性领导者可能面临的特殊挑战的关注。

📈 **公司历史与未来展望**:Opendoor在2022年和2023年曾是财富500强企业,但随后跌出榜单。公司在疫情后和2020年SPAC交易后,业务发展出现逆转,并曾接近从纳斯达克退市。尽管面临质疑,仍有投资者如Eric Jackson看好Opendoor,认为其具有投资潜力,这表明公司未来发展仍有不确定性,但存在潜在机遇。

📰 **其他商业新闻摘要**:文章还简要提及了其他重要的商业新闻,包括首个治疗产后抑郁症的药物的初步反馈、将肯尼迪中心的歌剧院以梅拉尼娅·特朗普命名、Coty公司在香水和Z世代趋势上的押注,以及“X世代”在职场中夹在婴儿潮一代和年轻一代之间的困境,特别是X世代女性面临的“附带损害”和被忽视的问题。

In the four years since GameStop went viral, it’s been pretty rare for one of the stocks that Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets has pushed to artificial highs to be a woman-led company. But alongside AMC, Nokia, and Trump Media & Technology Group, we can now count Opendoor, the real estate businesses headed by CEO Carrie Wheeler.

Opendoor was a Fortune 500 member in 2022 and 2023 (and Wheeler was a Fortune 500 CEO), but the company has since fallen off the list of America’s largest businesses. An online home buyer and flipper, its fortunes have reversed post-pandemic and after a 2020 SPAC. It came close to being delisted from the Nasdaq earlier this year.

Over the past week, Opendoor’s shares were up more than 400%—which still places its stock price at just $2.88 as of yesterday’s market close. (Kohl’s is another new meme stock of the past week, too.) Investor Eric Jackson is bullish on Opendoor, as are retail traders who see something Wall Street doesn’t.

But of course the attention of Reddit traders can get complicated. Investor Keith Rabois, who was a force behind the launch of the company a decade ago, has been openly questioning Wheeler’s competence and calling for a new CEO—and others are following along. It’s not easy to be a meme, and it’s not easy to be a female CEO.

- Messy middle. Gen X is caught in the middle as Baby Boomers delay retirement, forced to hustle to continue on their career paths—especially in entertainment. Of course, it's even worse for Gen X women, who say they've become "collateral damage" and are overlooked in favor of rising generations perceived as more tech-savvy by Boomer bosses. The Ankler
