Grieg Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK85.00) - Q2 beat offset by guidance cut

Q2 operating EBIT was NOK547m, 9–26% above consensus and our forecast, driven by a higher realised price in Rogaland and lower eliminations. The 2023 harvest guidance was cut by 2kt (due to Rogaland) to 78kt, which is in line with consensus. The Q3 contract share was guided at 42% of Norwegian volumes, with 2023 at 15%. The Q2 beat was offset by a 2023 guidance cut, meaning we expect no material changes to consensus 2023e operating EBIT, and a neutral share price reaction.
