Action:Reiterated
Date:04/30/26
Score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high margins, strong free cash flow, and very low leverage) and a constructive earnings update with raised guidance. Valuation is supportive with a moderate P/E and high dividend yield, while technicals are favorable but not exceptionally strong.
Positive Factors
Balance Sheet Strength
Opera's minimal debt and large equity base provide durable financial flexibility, reducing refinancing and interest risks. This conservative capital structure supports continued investment in product and AI initiatives, funds dividends/buybacks, and shields cash flows during market stress over the next several months.
Negative Factors
Revenue Deceleration
Revenue growth has meaningfully decelerated from prior double-digit trends to low-single-digits TTM, reducing the top-line engine that supports margin expansion and reinvestment. Slower organic growth limits scalability of fixed-cost leverage and may constrain long-term EPS and FCF growth without faster user or ARPU gains.

Opera Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 28, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 20, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
Overall the call was positive: the company reported strong top-line outperformance (Q1 revenue +23% to $176M), healthy adjusted EBITDA and cash conversion, raised full-year revenue guidance, and highlighted meaningful product and AI-driven engagement gains (ARPU +25%, Browser Connector launch, MiniPay scale). Offsetting items include rising hosting and other OpEx due to AI usage, a mix-driven cost-of-revenue profile for Opera Ads, and remaining uncertainty around how early-stage initiatives (e.g., MiniPay) scale. On balance, the positive operational momentum and capital returns outweigh the manageable cost pressures.Positive Updates
Revenue Outperformance and Growth
Q1 revenue of $176 million, up 23% year-over-year, exceeded the high end of guidance by $4 million; full-year revenue guidance raised to $727 million–$740 million (18%–20% growth), with the low end up $7M and high end up $5M versus prior guidance.
Negative Updates
Rising Other OpEx and Hosting Costs
Full-year other OpEx (pre-adjusted EBITDA) guidance increased to just over 20% growth year-over-year, driven by hosting costs, increased AI usage and pricing impacts from constrained supply — signaling higher operating cost pressure.

Company Guidance
Management raised full‑year revenue guidance to $727–$740 million (18%–20% growth, up $7M/$5M on the low/high ends versus prior range) and lifted adjusted EBITDA guidance to $170–$174 million (≈23.4% margin at the midpoint), noting they let just over 40% of incremental revenue flow to EBITDA; Q2 guidance is $176–$178 million revenue (23%–25% YoY) and $40–$42 million adjusted EBITDA (23.2% margin; ~28% adj. EBITDA growth at the midpoint). They expect full‑year OpEx (pre‑adj. EBITDA) of about $562 million at the midpoint (Q2 = $136M), cost of revenue around 38% of revenue for the year, cash‑based compensation to grow just above 10%, marketing to grow ~10% (Q2 similar to Q1’s $38.5M), other OpEx (pre‑adj. EBITDA) to rise just over 20% YoY, and a modest uplift to adjusted EBITDA margin (~+15 bps at the midpoint versus prior guidance) while reiterating 2025‑like EBITDA‑to‑cash conversion as a reasonable expectation.Opera Financial Statement Overview
