The unfolding trade war has led us to cut our global 2025–2027e demand and trim our spot price estimates. The negative price effect is partly countered by reduced mortality boosting volumes and lowering costs, leading to net EPS cuts of 11–2%. Given the sector’s solid track record in adapting to past crises and recent share-price declines, we see a significantly improved risk/reward and have a positive stance on the sector. We have upgraded Mowi, Bakkafrost, and Grieg Seafood to BUY (HOLD).
Good growth due to warm waters and reduced biological challenges have resulted in a material uptick in standing biomass and a favourable supply outlook. We have raised our 2025e YOY harvest growth to 7.1% (5.0%), driven by Norway, which we now expect to grow 6.9% (3.6%) YOY. We have cut our 2025–2027e spot prices to EUR7.2 (7.5) and EUR7.6 (7.8), corresponding to NOK84–89/kg. We have cut our 2025–2026e EPS by 13–9% and reiterate our neutral view on the sector, expecting sideways movement until s...
Salmon Evolution reported another quarter with solid operations, continuing to close the production gap towards a steady-state phase-1 harvest of 7.9kt. EBITDA cost of NOK75/kg was negatively affected by fixed-cost dilution from the 2024 smolt issues. Management guided for material improvements in H1. Phase-2 is on track and on budget. We reiterate our BUY and NOK9.9 target price.
We see the Q4 results and 2025 guidance as in line with our expectations and consensus. Q4 revenues were 6% above our forecast and consensus, but operating EBITDA of NOK9m was 13–50% below (consensus with some outliers). We see a limited change to consensus 2025e EPS and expect a flattish share price reaction.
