Once I purchased my first Norwegian inventory in 2014, the Trade price have been 8,21 NOK consistent with Euro. At the moment, Norway is more potent then ever and Europe is limping alongside. However, the trade price these days is 10,92 NOK/EUR this means that the the NOK misplaced -25% over 8 plus years. Moderately a marvel in case you simply take a look at this from the out of doors.

They have got additionally received some industry by way of an asset deal from an organization that has now transform the most important investor. “Watch”.

TIKR says the corporate is tremendous affordable at 3,5x P/E and 4xEV/EBIT, however 2022 simplest appears to be the 3rd 12 months out of the previous 6 that had been profitale. They function paper generators in Europe as neatly one in Tasmania (!!).

71. Icelandic Salmon

Icelandic Salmon is a 440 mn EUR fish farmer and is majority owned by way of “higher fish” Salmar. Despit eing indexed in Norway, the corporate is if truth be told situated in Iceland the place they farm ….Salmon.

Curiously, on its homepage, they nonetheless run underneath their outdated identify Arnarlax which now could be simplest the working emblem. Trade is recently doing really well however I’ve to confess that I neither like Salmon nor that I undestand the KPIs of this industry. From what I perceive, margins are recently so much upper than customary. “Go”.
