Grieg Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK140.00) - Finnmark weighs on Q1 results

The headline Q1 results were in line with the 17th March profit warning, while the poor underlying results reflected the downgrade of 50% of Grieg Seafood’s fish in Finnmark, which affected prices and costs (management guided this would also weigh in Q2). We have cut our 2020–2022e EPS by 26.3–1.5%, leaving us in line with consensus for 2020e, but well above for 2021–2022e. We have trimmed our target price to NOK140 (145) following our estimate changes, but with the stock trading at <14x reported 2019 EPS and <8x on 2021e, we reiterate our BUY.
