Mowi (Buy, TP: NOK210.00) - Softer US prices

We estimate operating EBIT of EUR187m, c21% below consensus of EUR235m. Flat prices QOQ in Europe but lower prices in the US market mean higher harvest volumes, and flat costs are not enough to raise EBIT versus Q3. The share price has dropped, but consensus still needs to come down for Q4. We have made minor changes to 2024–2025e EPS (mostly moving profits from farming to markets & consumer products, benefiting the tax rate). We reiterate our BUY and NOK210 target price. The Q4 report is due at 06:30 CET on 14 Feb 2024, but the trading update is normally released 14 days after quarter-end.
