Anticipates limited supply of salmon in second half.
Arctic Securities raised the price targets for Mowi, Lerøy Seafood and Grieg Seafood in a new sector report on Monday night. Atlantic Sapphire and Salmones Camanchaca are downgraded.
Arctic Securities now expects global supply growth of 2.8 per cent in 2021 and 5.9 per cent in 2022. This means a tight salmon market, especially in the second half of this year.
The brokerage prefers Lerøy Seafood, Grieg Seafood and Icelandic Salmon and expects a normalized market balance in 2022, reports TDN Direkt.
