Portfolio Pulse from Chris Bibey
Real estate stocks, including Opendoor Technologies Inc. (OPEN), Zillow Group Inc. (ZG), and Redfin Corp. (RDFN), are experiencing a surge as the 10-year Treasury yield falls below 4%. Opendoor received an analyst upgrade from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc., changing its rating from Underperform to Market Perform and increasing its price target from $1.65 to $3.50 per share. Zillow and Redfin also saw significant gains, with Zillow's stock price increasing by 8.84% on Wednesday and continuing to rise by 6.8% in early Thursday trading, while Redfin's shares went up nearly 15% in the same period. The drop in Treasury yields is attributed to traders expecting Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2024.
