AKVA group (Hold, TP: NOK70.00) - In-line Q1 and solid order intake

Q1 EBTDA of NOK67m was in line with our estimate, while the order intake was 21% above, driven by the Sea Based and Land Based segments. Financial targets for 2024–2025 are unchanged and the market outlook for post-smolt facilities in Norway is unchanged as well. We have made minor adjustments to our 2024–2026e EPS following the report and reiterate our HOLD and NOK70 target price.
