Mowi (Hold, TP: NOK245.00) - Strategic review of Feed division

Mowi today announced a strategic review of its Feed division (~5% of group 2024 EBIT), keeping all its options open, including a sale. We value the division at EUR634m, based on a 2025e EV/EBIT of 14x. Under a resource tax regime, there is a strong rationale for a long value chain, and we believe retaining the division would make sense. In the event of a sale at our target value, we estimate we could see a NOK10/share extraordinary dividend (assuming Feed carries 3x EBITDA in net interest-bearing debt). We would expect a small positive share price reaction today.
