Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Note

Opera’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its strong demand in the browser segment with the continued focus on attracting high average revenue per user users, particularly through its successful Opera GX browser, a browser tailored for gamers.

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 the company’s performance during the first quarter.

The company’s increasing investments in AI technology to enhance user experience and monetization opportunities are likely to have been a tailwind. The company’s 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.

The launch of a new data center in Iceland, focused on AI infrastructure, is expected to have optimized costs and support the development of AI-related services in the to-be-reported quarter.
