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...

Austevoll Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK123.00) - Peruvian comeback in Q2

Q2 operating EBITDA of NOK3,057m included a one-off gain of NOK1,265m from the sale of vessels in Br. Birkeland, and was 77% above our estimate and 86% above consensus (underlying 4% and 9% above, respectively). The underlying beat was driven by Austral on a strong comeback for its Peruvian operations. Following a solid Q2 and the stub valuation having come down, we find the shares attractively valued; we reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK123 (116) on our recently increase...

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...

Austevoll Seafood (Buy, TP: NOK112.00) - Austral set to start comeback...

We expect Q2 EBITDA of NOK1,724m, 5% below consensus of NOK1,808m (results due at 07:00 CET on 21 August). We are NOK84m–137m below consensus Q2e EBITDA for Foodcorp and Lerøy Seafood, but NOK103m above for Austral. Following a change of analyst, we have raised our 2024–2026e EPS by 3.6–2.2% on higher forecasts for Austral and Lerøy Seafood, and reiterate our BUY and NOK112 target price.
