Opera has recently introduced the Browser Operator, an AI agent enhancing task efficiency and privacy, positioning itself as a leader in agentic browsing. Alongside this launch was the addition of Discord, Slack, and Bluesky to Opera One's sidebar, expanding its communication capabilities. These developments may relate to Opera’s stock increasing by 1.86% last month, despite broader market declines sparked by economic concerns and new tariffs. The favorable response to Opera’s innovations contrasts with the drift seen in major indexes like the Nasdaq, which fell 4%, and companies such as Nvidia, which faced significant declines. In a month marked by declining indices, Opera’s initiatives suggest a positive reception from investors, aligning with a revenue forecast signaling cautious optimism in its upcoming prospects.

Take a closer look at Opera's potential here.

Over the past three years, Opera has achieved a substantial total shareholder return of 376.84%. This exceptional performance can be attributed to several factors. Notably, the company's consistent growth in revenue, as evidenced by sales figures reaching nearly US$480.65 million in 2024, highlights a solid foundation in a competitive market. The dividend affirmations further underscore Opera's commitment to returning value to its shareholders despite fluctuations in net income. Moreover, its enhancements to Opera GX and the integration of AI and customization features have strengthened its market position and attracted a loyal user base.

Moreover, Opera's expansion into blockchain with MiniPay and its partnership with Google Cloud to boost AI capabilities positions it at the forefront of technological innovations, driving user engagement and long-term growth potential. Over the past year, Opera's return has surpassed both the US market and the US Software industry, illustrating its strong standing and investor confidence amidst challenging economic conditions.
