 Opera shares rise 3% as Q2 revenue beats expectations

OSLO - On Tuesday, Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) reported second-quarter revenue and earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, while raising its full-year guidance.

The browser and AI agent company’s hares rose 2.94% in pre-market trading after the release.

The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.26, surpassing the analyst estimate of $0.20. Revenue jumped 30% YoY to $143 million, beating the consensus estimate of $137.44 million and exceeding the company’s guidance range. Opera’s advertising revenue surged 44% YoY to $92.9 million, while search revenue grew 11% to $49.6 million.

Opera’s adjusted EBITDA reached $32.1 million, representing a 22% margin, also above the company’s guidance. The positive market reaction reflects investor confidence in Opera’s growth trajectory and improved outlook.

"Our strong second quarter results, with both revenue and adjusted EBITDA surpassing expectations, were fueled by continued momentum in AI powered intent-based advertising, in particular for e-commerce, and an acceleration to double-digit growth in search revenue," said co-CEO Lin Song.

Looking ahead, Opera raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $585-597 million, above the analyst consensus of $576 million. For the third quarter, the company expects revenue between $146-149 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24%.
