Three key data points gauge Opera Ltd or any dividend-paying firm.

The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.

OPRA Price

Over the past year, Opera Ltd’s share price fell about 37% from $19.31 to $12.12 as of Tuesday’s market close.

If OPRA shares trade in the range of $10.00 to $20.00 this next year, its recent $12.12 share price might rise to $14.50 by next year. Of course, OPRA’s price could also drop about the same $2.38 estimated amount or more.

My $2.38 upside is based on a portion of the median of OPRA one-year target prices from six analysts tracking it for brokers.

OPRA Dividend

Opera Ltd has paid variable Semi-Annual dividends since February 2023. The most recent $0.41 dividend was declared June 11th for shareholders of record July 2nd and was paid July 15th.

A forward-looking $0.81 annual dividend yields 6.68% at Tuesday’s closing price.

OPRA Returns

To put it all together, a $3.19 estimated gross gain per share for the next year shows up when adding OPRA’s  $0.81 annual dividend to the estimated price upside of $2.38.

A little over $1000 buys 83 shares at $12.12 per share.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might take $0.12 per share out of the $3.19 gross gain to reveal a net gain of $3.07 X 83 shares = $254.81 for about a 25.5% estimated net gain on the year.

Furthermore, the $66.80 annual dividend income from $1K invested is over 5.5 times greater than the $12.12 single share price. By these numbers, Opera Ltd may be an ideal dividend dog.

You might choose to pounce on Opera Ltd.  It is a 28-year-old dividend-paying Hungarian-based telecom firm with a 2-year track record paying variable semi-annual dividends.

The exact track of OPRA's future price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action.

Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.
