Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 24% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 29, 2025
Opera's price looks washed out, which can set up a bounce when buyers return. Recent news highlights $392M in cash and a stake in OPay, giving it a financial cushion. Sales grew 29% compared to last year, and analyst targets point to about 43% potential upside. With smaller internet stocks getting a friendlier market backdrop, this aims for a roughly 3 month recovery back toward prior price areas.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down, while the overall trend still leans upward gently.
- Large cash balance plus a meaningful ownership stake in OPay support stability.
- Sales are growing, and analysts say there is solid room for shares to climb.
- A friendlier market mood is helping smaller internet names draw more buyers.
