SalMar ASA (ISIN NO0010310956) stock has given back some ground after a strong run since July, as a fresh sector report dated September 3, 2026 highlighted both its rally and a new Hold recommendation from Norne Securities alongside a higher target price of 630 Norwegian kroner.
Analyst downgrade after price rally
According to a detailed sector update reported by SalmonBusiness, Norne Securities has moved SalMar from a Buy to a Hold recommendation in a report dated September 3, 2026, even as it raised its target price to 630 Norwegian kroner from 620 kroner, reflecting a modest 10 kroner, or about 1.6 percent, increase in its valuation range.
The same report notes that SalMar shares had risen 23 percent since the start of July 2026, a strong summer rally that, in the broker's view, reduces the upside potential versus its new target price and justifies a more neutral stance on the stock within the Norwegian salmon segment.
Stock performance on Oslo and in the US
Market data compiled by Investing.com for the Oslo market close show that on September 3, 2026 SalMar ASA shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange closed at 554.00 Norwegian kroner, down 1.42 percent, or 8.00 kroner, on the day, indicating a pause after the earlier rally highlighted in the Norne sector note.
In parallel, an OTC Markets quote page referenced by MarketScreener shows SalMar's US-traded OTC line SALRF at 62.00 US dollars as of August 28, 2026, up 0.98 percent on the session and with year-to-date performance of 14.81 percent, underlining that international investors have also participated in the salmon producer's stronger share trend in 2026.
