The Scottish Salmon Company (Buy, TP: NOK13.00) - Strong start to the year

The Scottish Salmon Company’s Q1 trading update revealed higher than expected harvest volume and margins, driving operating EBIT (GBP13.1m) some 86% ahead of market expectations. Management maintains its 26.5kt harvest guidance for 2018, which we consider somewhat optimistic given the cold temperatures and volume downgrades by peers. Following the strong Q1 report and lower cost estimates, we have raised our 2018–2020e EPS materially (39–13%). We reiterate BUY and have raised our target price to NOK13 (12).
