Mowi (Buy, TP: NOK235.00) - Q1 EBIT miss, but worst looks over

Mowi reported Q1 operating EBIT of EUR201m, versus our estimate of EUR234m and consensus of EUR230m, which had been lowered from ~EUR270m a few months ago. Profit warnings from peers and available market data suggested fish downgrades in Norway would be an issue, but were actually more than we expected. However, the worst seems over, and while we have cut our Q1–Q2e earnings from Norway, and 2024e EPS by 3.3%, we reiterate our BUY and NOK235 target price.
