SalMar (Sell, TP: NOK320.00) - Marginally below expectations

SalMar reported Q2 operating EBIT of NOK879m, some 5–6% shy of consensus and our expectations, driven by a lower realised salmon price and unfortunate harvest timing for the Central region. The company said that volumes from Ocean Farm 1 are ready for harvest in H2 2018 and that there are more projects are on the horizon. We have tweaked our EPS estimates down ~2%, and maintain our NOK320 target price and SELL recommendation.
