Opera: Executing Well, But Preferable To Re-Enter At Lower Levels (Rating Downgrade)
Summary Opera has trounced other international small-caps over the past year by 23x. OPRA's fundamentals are largely still intact, and it will still meet 'Rule of 40' even by 2026. OPRA is countering MAU decline, with exceptional ARPU growth, and refreshed high ARPU products such as Opera GX are playing a key role. However, bullish momentum is waning, the stock looks like one of the more overextended names in the international small-cap universe, and its forward EV/EBITDA valuations are also above average.

Opera Stock Is Even More Tempting Now
Summary I reiterate my "Buy" rating for Opera Limited, driven by strong financial performance, revenue growth, and strategic focus on high-value users and Western markets. Opera's Q3 FY2024 revenue rose 20% YoY to $123 million, with significant ARPU growth and robust performance in e-commerce and travel verticals. The company maintains a strong cash flow, enabling dividends and buybacks, with a forecasted 8% dividend yield and a 27% undervaluation relative to its fair value. Despite analyst skepticism, Opera's bullish guidance and growth in gaming, AI, and e-commerce sectors signal continued strong performance and potential for further upside. My valuation calculations say Opera is even more undervalued today than it was 2.5 months ago when I last wrote about it (despite the rally).

Opera: Rich Yields & High Growth Prospects - No Brainer Buy
Summary OPRA's robust capital appreciation and rich dividend yields justify the reiterated Buy rating, thanks to its inherent undervaluation and growing Free Cash Flow generation. The dip in its overall MAUs has been highly strategic as well, as observed in the growing user share from Western regions and higher ARPUs thus far. These developments have contributed to the growth flywheel across OPRA's advertising and search revenues, as the management raises its FY2024 guidance. Its discounted FWD PEG non GAAP ratio of 0.61x offers interested investors with a high growth prospect, pending the reversal in market sentiments. For now, investors may simply sit back and collect rich dividends prior its turnaround story. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaRevenue & Expenses Breakdown
