HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We are initiating coverage of Buy rating and setting a conservative $3.75 price target on what we see as the leading accelerating technology in creating and growing Atlantic salmon, arguably one of if not the healthiest protein choices as a key original source for the richest long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic) and DHA (docosahexaenoic). Atlantic salmon has experienced moderately increasing consumption worldwide that has driven the creation of 3.2M metric ton (MT) global farmed Atlantic salmon production—roughly a $30B market—that represents a fraction of the approximate $177B global aquaculture market.
