Norway's Opera (OPRA.US) is a company that offers web browsers for PCs and mobile devices. Its shares have risen nearly 600% since the bottom in October and 250% since the beginning of the year because it has entered into a promising partnership with OpenAI. The company has decided to pay a dividend every six months, with the first payment set at $0.40 per share, ex-date June 30. Lake Street analysts raised their recommendation for the company to $22 per share and reiterated a 'Buy' rating.
