SalMar anticipates lower volumes for H2 2025

SalMar ASA has reported a challenging start to 2025, with a notable drop in production due to environmental issues. Jellyfish invasions and unfavorable weather have negatively impacted the company’s fish growth rates. As a result, the average weight of the fish is lower and prices have dropped. The company’s earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) have fallen across all regions except Scotland, where conditions differ. Analysts suggest that the weak performance in the first half of the year will likely carry over into the second half. Overall, SalMar faces significant hurdles as it navigates these ecological and market pressures. Investors are watching closely to see how the company adapts to these challenges in the upcoming months.
