Norway Royal Salmon (Buy, TP: NOK168.00) - Bad news discounted

Norway Royal Salmon shares have dropped 35% since their peak and 18% in the last three months as sentiment has deteriorated. We have been cautious to become more positive despite underlying valuation support as consensus estimates have seemed too optimistic, but that worry is less prevalent now. Thus we have upgraded to BUY (HOLD) and trimmed our target price to NOK168 (170) to reflect lower short-term earnings due to ISA outbreak in Q4 2017. Q4 results are due at 06:30 CET on 13 February.
