Factors to Note
OPRA’s second-quarter 2024 performance is likely to have benefited from the strong monetization of its browser. Its continued focus on attracting high average revenue per user users, particularly through its successful Opera GX browser, a browser tailored for gamers and the continuous rollout of new AI features, is expected to have driven top-line growth.
One of the latest features for GX browsers, GX mods enables the users to get creative and transform all the aspects of the browser according to users’ choice from a wide range of mods. This feature is expected to have played a key role in the uptick of active user base and revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
Increasing demand for Opera Ads across e-commerce, gaming and other high-intent user interaction markets owing to its targeting-based technical abilities for advertisers, are expected to have aided OPRA’s performance during the second quarter.
Its increasing investments in AI technology to enhance user experience and monetization opportunities are likely to have been a tailwind. Its integration of Aria, the browser AI, into the browsing experience to provide users with more efficient gains and personalized content, is likely to have been a positive.
Growing investments for the integration and development of iOS for Apple users in the EU are expected to have favored in growth of revenues and iOS user base in the EU in the upcoming quarter.
