Q2 Trading Update: Beat on volumes and lifting volume guidance
MAS reported Q2'26 harvest volume of 9.35kt, above consensus and guidance of 8.6kt. The beat was driven by strong sea
production, prompting MAS to lift full-year guidance to 29kt (from 28kt). Total biomass rose 23% y/y, though own biomass
was flat (hence lower quality beat). With the strategic review ongoing, we do not expect any meaningful share price reaction
to the lifted volume guidance, although we would expect 2026e Op. EBIT estimates to come up c. 4% - thus slightly positive.
The update is also a positive read across for SALM, as Central Norway biomass production appears to have been during the
quarter. HOLD TP NOK 35/sh.
