OSLO – Marine Harvest, the world’s largest fish farmer, aims to grow its business both organically and via acquisitions, Chief Executive Officer Alf-Helge Aarskog said when presenting record third-quarter earnings on Wednesday.
The company, which is controlled by billionaire investor John Fredriksen, announced a dividend of 3.4 Norwegian crowns per share, beating all forecasts in a Reuters poll, and reported earnings slightly above its earlier guidance.
Marine Harvest cut its own 2017 volume output forecast however, and also set a 2018 growth target slightly below the level seen by analysts.
