Grieg Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK85.00) - Weak Q3 set to safeguard Q4
Grieg Seafood’s Q3 trading update revealed slightly higher harvest volumes than we expected, driven by early takeout in Finnmark to safeguard fish welfare. Production costs in Rogaland and Finnmark were also above our estimates, but below in BC. With early takeout of fish suggesting harvest late in the quarter, when prices were lower, we expect an operating EBIT loss of NOK35m, versus consensus for a NOK2m loss. We reiterate our BUY and NOK85 target price.Greig Seafood is a fish farming group, based in Norway, that specialized in salmon and trout. Co. is the parent company of the Greig Seafood Group.
