SalMar (Hold, TP: NOK565.00) - Resource tax to be set at 25%

On 25 May, the Norwegian government announced it had secured 50.3% support in Parliament for a 25% resource tax, with the final bill set to be voted through on 31 May. We have adjusted our model to account for a 25% resource tax (35%), increasing our 2023–2025e EPS by 19.8–15.8%. We have also applied a 25% resource tax in our DCF valuation beyond our 2025 forecast period. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY) due to the strong share-price performance on the news, but have increased our target price to NOK565 (500).
