Wednesday's message from Marine Harvest showed it is in a strong financial position with an appetite for further expansion, analysts told IntraFish.
“It is only natural that Marine Harvest will look at what is available from companies in Norway and Chile,” said Kjetil Lye, analyst at Handelsbanken Capital Markets.
“What company it may be, I do not want to speculate,” he said. But he believes it would be easier for the company to buy in Chile rather than Norway.
According to Lye, Marine Harvest’s message is simple.
