Opera Limited (OPRA): Pioneering Agentic AI Browsing with Browser Operator

We recently published a list of 9 Trending AI News Updates Driving US Markets. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) stands against other trending AI news updates driving US markets.

As the global AI race heats up, the Trump Administration’s downsizing of federal agencies poses a risk to AI development in the US. His cost-cutting measures are already impacting AI research efforts. Yesterday, a key federal AI research agency witnessed layoffs and faced potential budget cuts. Several US National Science Foundation employees, with expertise in AI, were terminated, threatening the agency’s ability to sustain AI research.

The government’s latest move also affected the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships within the National Science Foundation. The department played a key role in funneling government grants related to AI. Industry experts heavily criticized the downsizing.

Meanwhile, Chinese buyers are circumventing US export curbs to acquire the latest AI chips from top US manufacturers, exacerbating Trump’s challenges in cutting off the transfer of American technology to China. Washington imposed export controls in 2022 to curb China’s access to semiconductors for training AI models, but underground brokers are still managing to bypass the controls.

“China will help bridge the technological divide and prevent technological innovation from becoming a game for the rich countries and the wealthy,” said Chinese politician and computer scientist, Lou Qinjian, at the start of the annual National People’s Congress.

Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) is a software firm offering top-notch internet browsing experience on a range of devices. Since early 2024, the company has prioritized its AI Feature Drops program to test experimental AI features like local LLMs, image creation, and AI Tab Commands.

On March 3rd, the company announced at the MWC in Barcelona that its browser had become the first agentic AI browser that could perform user browsing tasks. Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) said its native AI agent, Browser Operator, is currently being demoed and is expected to change how users browse the internet while protecting their privacy. The native AI agent allows users to explain their requirements in natural language so that it can perform tasks for them. Users have complete control over any automated browser tasks the AI agent implements, which they can override at any time.

“For more than 30 years, the browser gave you access to the web, but it has never been able to get stuff done for you. Now it can. This is different from anything we’ve seen or shipped so far. The Browser Operator we’re presenting today marks the first step towards shifting the role of the browser from a display engine to an application that is agentic and performs tasks for its users.”

-said Krystian Kolondra, EVP of Opera Ltd.

Overall, OPRA ranks 5th on our list of trending AI news updates driving US markets. While we acknowledge the potential of OPRA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than OPRA but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
