Lerøy Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK67.00) - Q1 misses expectations
Q1 operating EBIT was NOK989m, 8–9% below us and consensus, while Farming results were 16% below on soft realised prices. The 2023 harvest guidance of 175kt was unchanged, but we see risk due to the early take-out of fish in Q1 and Sjøtroll being dependent on a clear YOY improvement in H2. We expect 5–8% lower consensus 2023 EPS, and the stock to trade down by 5–7% today.Leroy Seafood Group is a supplier of seafood. Co.'s primary products are Atlantic salmon and trout.
