Grieg Seafood (Hold, TP: NOK50.00) - One step forward, two steps back

Grieg Seafood ended 2024 with a NOK1.7bn impairment in Canada and announced a NOK1.5bn–2.0bn perpetual bond issue and potential sale-leaseback of Finnmark’s smolt facility to protect its Canadian assets. Although the short-term liquidity shortfall is plugged, none of the long-term challenges have been addressed. We have cut our target price to NOK50 (79), but reiterate our HOLD.
