Grieg Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK80.00) - Weak Q4 as expected

Q4 operating EBIT was NOK-67m, in line with our estimate and consensus. The company announced a NOK150m cost-savings programme, and an investment in a processing facility at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. The 2024 harvest guidance was cut by 4kt to 81kt, 2% below our estimate but 12% below consensus. We believe BUY-side expectations for harvest volumes are below consensus and do not expect a share price reaction to fully reflect the EPS cuts from a lower harvest. We believe a fair share price reaction today is 0–3%.
