Norwegian salmon is trading at NOK 95/kg — NOK 13 above Signycle's SELL threshold of NOK 82/kg. The SELL signal has been active for several weeks. For investors in Mowi, SalMar or Grieg Seafood, this is the signal that historically precedes margin compression and stock price corrections.

Why salmon prices are elevated

Supply is the story. Norwegian salmon production growth slowed to just 2% in 2025 due to sea lice regulations and biological limitations at existing sites. Meanwhile, European demand — especially from France, Germany and Poland — held up strongly through winter. The imbalance has pushed spot prices to near-record levels for March.

The seasonal dynamic: Salmon prices typically peak in Q4 (Christmas demand) and Q1, then soften through summer as Norwegian harvest volumes increase. A price correction toward NOK 75–80 by June–August is the base case — which is still above the SELL threshold.

Stock signal status

Mowi (MOWI)🔴 SELL zone — reduce exposure
SalMar (SALM)🔴 SELL zone — reduce exposure
Grieg Seafood (GSF)🔴 SELL zone
Lerøy Seafood (LSG)🔴 SELL zone

The counter-argument: at NOK 95, salmon farmers are printing exceptional margins. EBITDA multiples remain reasonable for some names. But the signal is clear — this is not the entry point for new positions. The time to buy salmon stocks is when prices are near NOK 42–50, not NOK 95.
