Opera Ltd represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Opera Ltd a Hold rating, with a composite score of 55.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1181 of 7,333 stocks, OPRA presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
OPRA earns a quality score of 79/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 34.4% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 50.7% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 17.0% (sector avg: 2.8%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
OPRA carries a solid value score of 88/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 20.10x, an EV/EBITDA of 2.20x, a P/B ratio of 1.14x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 55/100, OPRA exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 19.3% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 30.6% (sector: 2.4%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
OPRA is currently showing below-average momentum at 39/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 19.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.29 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
With a stability score of 49/100, OPRA exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.29 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 50/100 for OPRA suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.29), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $1.6B market cap (small-cap), Opera Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Opera Ltd offers an attractive dividend yield of 4.3%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
Opera Ltd is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1181 of 7,333 overall (84th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 34.4% exceeding the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 20.0% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While OPRA currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

Opera stock surged on Friday, driven by positive analyst coverage and expectations of upcoming interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The broader market also gained, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices rising.
The Federal Reserve's hawkish pivot has rattled markets, but select stocks like TaskUs, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Opera offer opportunities for investors amid the volatility.

Opera's stock rose after the company reported strong revenue growth and issued upbeat guidance. The company's advertising and search revenue saw significant increases, and its focus on higher-valued users is paying off.
