SalMar (Hold, TP: NOK690.00) - Q1 trading update

SalMar released its Q1 trading update on 10 April, revealing higher harvest volumes than we expected in the Central region, but lower in the North. The company also reiterated that it had been negatively affected by string jellyfish in the Northern region in Q1, hurting superior share and harvest weights more than we had previously expected. We have cut our Q1 estimates by 11% following the trading update and expect operating EBIT of NOK1,609m, 13% below consensus. The full report is due at 06:30 CET on 14 May. We reiterate our HOLD and NOK690 target price.
