Following Marine Harvest’s failure to purchase Cermaq and create the world’s largest seafood company, one analyst is not overly optimistic about Cermaq’s future.

On the other hand, Kolbjørn Giskeødegård, senior seafood analyst at Nordea Markets, is bullish about what lies in store for Marine Harvest and its shareholders following the collapse of the deal.

The most likely scenario now will see Cermaq “being chopped up” with EWOS being sold to the foreign private equity (PE) funds Altor and Bain Capital, according to  Giskeødegård.
