Salmar

SalMar reported a biological record in the second quarter with an increased harvest volume of 81,800 tonnes and an operating EBIT of NOK 1.237 billion. The company raised its 2026 harvest forecast to 350,000 tonnes (+16% versus 2025) and expects higher volumes and lower costs. EBIT fell compared with Q1 due to lower price realization and an unfavorable harvest timing, but demand remains strong and customers are already securing contracts for 2027. Net interest-bearing liabilities fell to NOK 19.1 billion and SalMar sees itself as a driver of industry growth. » Plus sur de.investing.com

The offer drove Måsøval’s share up 14.2% to NOK 37.8, led to an opening record of NOK 38.4 and a 52-week high. SalMar guarantees minority shareholders the same exit price after closing; previously Måsøval had raised its 2026 annual harvest estimate from 28,000 to 29,000 tonnes, increasing the takeover’s attractiveness. » Plus sur de.investing.com
