SalMar (Hold, TP: NOK690.00) - Earnings disappoint in Q1
Operating EBIT of NOK1.5bn undershot our estimate and consensus of NOK1.6bn–1.7bn. Core farming in Norway was better than we expected, while Icelandic Salmon and SalMar Aker Offshore missed significantly. We have factored in the Q2 guidance for low harvest volumes in our full-year EPS, while a lower tax charge aided Q1 EPS. We have raised our 2025–2026e EPS by 2.5-4.1%, largely reflecting larger volumes and a margin gain in the offshore operations; however, we reiterate our HOLD and NOK690 target price.SalMar is a producer of Atlantic salmon and is integrated from roe and smolt to products and sales. Co. has farming operations in Central and Northern Norway, as well as in Scotland. Co. has operating licences for marinephase fish farms and hatcheries in central Norway and Troms County. Co. has 66 licences for production of farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway: 53 in central Norway (More & Romsdal, South and North Trondelag) and 13 in northern Norway (Troms)
