SalMar stock closed at NOK 550.00 on the Oslo Bors on September 18, 2026, representing a 2.2 percent decline from the prior session in NOK terms. Compared with its one-week performance shown in the same Oslo Bors overview, the move on September 18, 2026 left the shares lower on a month-to-date and year-to-date basis, underscoring recent selling pressure in the Norwegian salmon sector.
September 18, 2026 in numbers
SalMar ASA (ISIN NO0010310956) ended trading on the Oslo Bors at NOK 550.00 on September 18, 2026, with the quoted last close showing a 2.22 percent loss versus the previous day and a session range reported around the NOK 550.00 level per Oslo Bors data carried by MarketScreener. In the same data snapshot, the five-day and year-to-date performance lines indicated that SalMar underperformed its recent path, while the broader Norwegian equity market showed a less pronounced decline, highlighting a weaker short-term profile for the shares.
As MarketScreener reported on September 18, 2026, Barclays lowered its price target for SalMar to NOK 535 from NOK 545 while reiterating a market-weight recommendation, a move that coincided with the stock closing at NOK 550.00 that day. The updated target, now below the latest close, added to the cautious tone around valuation and helped explain why the shares lagged their reference index during the session.
Today’s drivers for SalMar
Today, investors face the Oslo Bors open with SalMar carrying the NOK 550.00 close and Barclays’ fresh NOK 535 price target from September 18, 2026 as a valuation marker for the stock. According to the same MarketScreener report, Barclays maintained its neutral stance, so the new target may frame expectations for SalMar’s price action around the open today. With no company-specific earnings release or ex-dividend date flagged for September 21, 2026 in recent investor information, the Barclays adjustment and broader movements in the Norwegian equity and seafood segments are likely to set the tone for trading in SalMar into today’s session.
