From a low of ~4 NOk/share, Grieg elevated by nearly 40x till early 2022 earlier than then dropping by -50% inside a couple of weeks. Grieg appears to be hit by the shock “Seafood Tax” from the Norwegian Authorities, which appears to elucidate the drop to a sure extent.
Salmon costs seemt o be fairly excessive for the time being and administration is optimistic. I’ve very restricted expereince with these type of companies, however in my expertise, caclical shares shouldn’t be purchased when issues look good and the shares look low-cost, somewhat on the contrary. Due to this fact, I’ll “go”.
