The latest announcement is out from Austevoll Seafood ASA ( (GB:0DNW) ).

Austevoll Seafood reported Q1 2026 operating revenue of NOK 9.8 billion, effectively flat year-on-year, while adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBIT posted modest gains, reflecting resilient core operations despite mixed joint-venture performance. Profitability improved sharply, with profit before tax swinging to NOK 814 million from a loss a year earlier, driven in part by a much smaller negative fair value adjustment on biological assets.

Income from associates declined, as Scottish Sea Farms’ harvest volumes fell 36%, pushing up unit costs and reflecting ongoing biological challenges, while Pelagia delivered results in line with last year’s seasonally important first quarter. Net financial expenses increased slightly, but the strong rebound in operating profit and reduced biological asset write-downs bolstered overall earnings, providing a notably stronger outcome for shareholders compared with the prior year.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0DNW) stock is a Hold with a NOK90.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Austevoll Seafood ASA stock, see the GB:0DNW Stock Forecast page.
