what happened
Norwegian salmon farmer SalMar harvested a record 105,100 tons in the third quarter, according to TradingView. The company's operating EBIT reached NOK 1,609 million, and adjusted earnings per share came in at NOK 6.41.
Higher prices, better quality and lower costs along the value chain also contributed, while net debt fell and liquidity stayed strong.
For 2026, the harvest forecast was lowered to 347,000 tons, whereas the 2027 target is 348,000 tons excluding Måsøval.
why it matters
For investors, the quarter shows that strong salmon prices and cheaper processing can lift margins quickly. The lower 2026 volume outlook, however, signals less supply next year, and the market will weigh both factors.
market impact
SalMar shares: record harvest and firmer prices support margins, while the lower volume outlook limits optimism
