Mowi ASA (MHGVY) maintains a Hold rating as current valuation does not offer compelling cycle-average returns. 2025 saw pressured margins and pricing due to a salmon supply upcycle, but volume and cost performance remained positive. Mowi guides for 8% harvest growth in 2026, supported by Nova Sea acquisition, amid expectations of a salmon upcycle and restrained global supply.

Thank you very much for joining us this morning in connection with the release and the presentation of Mowi's third quarter results of 2025.
Mowi delivered strong volume growth (up 18% YoY), but oversupply pressured prices and margins despite lower feed costs. Industry supply is expected to keep rising, likely putting further pressure on prices and margins amid sluggish demand and US tariff uncertainty. Recent refinancing and the Nova Sea acquisition add debt.

Mowi ASA's Q4 2024 results were strong, driven by optimal climatic conditions in Norway and improving feed margins, leading to record-high production volumes. The acquisition of Nova Sea adds 10% production capacity, enhancing Mowi's position, though the valuation remains fair but not overly compelling. Despite increased net debt from the acquisition, Mowi's EBIT coverage is strong, supporting manageable leverage and potential for yield enhancement and synergies.

Here is how Marine Harvest ASA (MHGVY) and New York Times Co. (NYT) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

Feed prices have dropped significantly, improving margins, while a good anchovy season in Peru increased marine ingredient supply, benefiting feed production. The consumer products segment shows solid growth, pushing the Mowi brand into European supermarkets and contributing to a 20% EBITDA increase.
