Lerøy Seafood (Hold, TP: NOK55.00) - Progress with new technology

Q1 operating EBIT of NOK842m was c4% below our estimate, but 3% above consensus. New shielding and submersible technologies are reported to work well, with strong biological performance in Q1. The company guides for costs in line to slightly higher than in 2023, and while the 2024 harvest guidance was maintained, 2025 was cut 5kt from Sjøtroll. We have reduced our 2024e EPS by 6.0%, but increased 2025–2026e by 0.5–3.6%. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY), with a raised target price of NOK55 (52).

Lerøy Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK52.00) - Q1 in line and operational progres...

Q1 operating EBIT was NOK842m, 4% below our estimate, but 3% above consensus. Farming EBIT fell shy of expectations, while wildcatch and VAP were above. Operational performance in farming stated to go well, with good growth and biology in all regions, helped by shielding technologies. The 2024 harvest guidance was unchanged at 175kt (consensus: 161–167kt). We expect consensus 2024e EPS to come up 0–2% and the stock 2–5% on improved sentiment regarding an operational turnaround.
