Introduction to the salmon sector

This report provides an overview of the dynamics, companies, history, challenges and opportunities of the salmon farming industry. Biological challenges and stricter regulations over the past decade have curbed the supply of salmon, a globally consumed product with a strong ESG angle. Significant infrastructure investments made by the companies to solve these challenges have not yet yielded materially higher supply, leading to continued high salmon prices. Despite higher EBIT margins the sector ...

Lower tax proposed

The largest opposition party (Høyre) has launched a new draft proposal for its next parliamentary election programme. One of the suggestions is a lower and less bureaucratic resource tax. In the event of a 15% resource tax (down from 25%), we calculate the following preliminary 2025–2026e EPS impacts on the companies we cover: Grieg Seafood (15%), SalMar (12%), Lerøy Seafood (9%), Måsøval (8%), Mowi (7%), and Bakkafrost (0%). While this is only a proposal, we believe it will likely materially li...

Icelandic Salmon (Buy, TP: NOK150.00) - Challenging Q2 and soft outloo...

Q2 operating EBIT of NOK-43m was NOK34m below our estimate and NOK39m below consensus, driven by one-offs of EUR3.9m (cNOK63/kg) in another round of unflagged biological challenges. 2024 volume guidance was cut by 2kt, to 13kt, and challenges in H1 should affect 2025 volumes as well. The Q3 guidance is for still-high costs and comments regarding smolt release for 2024–2025 suggest a slower harvest volume ramp-up than we previously expected. We have cut our 2025–2026e EPS by 12–19% and reiterate ...

Time to go fishing again

While the soft demand of recent months now seems to have turned a corner, the supply outlook remains muted. Input costs have declined slowly, and valuations are 13–23% below 10-year and 5-year averages, suggesting it is time to become more positive on the sector. The recent soft demand has led us to lower our EUR/kg spot price forecasts, but the weaker NOK has compensated. We have therefore adjusted our 2025–2026e EPS up by 1% and are still in line with consensus. Mowi and Grieg Seafood remain o...

Icelandic Salmon (Buy, TP: NOK170.00) - Low volume and high costs in Q...

We expect Q2 operating EBIT of NOK-5m, NOK30m below consensus of NOK26m. Based on a 1.3kt harvest, the corresponding EBIT/kg margin is NOK-3.5, versus consensus of NOK18.9 (based on 1.4kt). The deviation reflects a lower realised price and higher costs, while harvest volumes are broadly in line. We reiterate our BUY and NOK170 target price, and believe the current share price offers an attractive entry point for investors with medium- and long-term time horizons.
