Grieg Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK170.00) - Q2 beat

Grieg Seafood reported operating EBIT of NOK986m, c13% and c17% above our forecast and consensus, respectively. Higher than expected realised prices (lower downgrades) led to a stronger than expected farming margin in Norway. Management indicated cost inflation will have a larger impact on production costs going forward (already reflected in our estimates). 2022 harvest volume guidance was cut to 87kt (88kt). We expect consensus 2022 EPS up 5–6% today and a 3–5% positive share price reaction.
