SalMar ASA (NO0010310956) closed at NOK 544.50 on the Oslo Bors on September 22, 2026, gaining 2.74 percent from the previous close. The move brought the stock close to Pareto Securities' revised target of NOK 550, while the broker retained its Hold rating.

Pareto raises target to NOK 550

According to Placera on September 23, 2026, Pareto Securities raised its SalMar target to NOK 550 from NOK 520 and repeated its Hold recommendation. The NOK 30 increase represents a 5.8 percent adjustment, placing the revised target only NOK 5.50 above the September 22 close.

The comparison is important for investors because the target revision is positive while the unchanged Hold rating remains cautious. The price reaction therefore outpaced the broker's change in valuation: SalMar gained 2.74 percent in one session, compared with the 5.8 percent increase in Pareto's target from NOK 520 to NOK 550.

Barclays remains a counterweight

According to ad-hoc-news.de on September 22, 2026, Barclays had cut its target to NOK 535 from NOK 545 after SalMar closed at NOK 530.00 on September 21, 2026, following a 3.64 percent decline. The two target levels now frame a range of NOK 15, with Pareto at NOK 550 and Barclays at NOK 535.

That spread gives the latest price move a more balanced reading. SalMar's September 22 close stood NOK 9.50 above Barclays' revised target and NOK 5.50 below Pareto's new target, so the stock is trading between the two current broker assessments.

Stock closes at NOK 544.50

On September 22, 2026, SalMar stock closed at NOK 544.50 on the Oslo Bors after trading 2.74 percent higher. The prior close was NOK 530.00 on September 21, 2026, making the one-session gain NOK 14.50.

For investors, the key near-term signal is the gap between the two target revisions: Pareto moved from NOK 520 to NOK 550, while Barclays moved from NOK 545 to NOK 535. The combined range is narrower than the apparent optimism of the stronger target, and the unchanged Hold view limits the message from Pareto.
