Winston Score History

The full picture

Mowi ASA is a Norwegian company that farms and sells Atlantic salmon. It raises fish in ocean pens, processes them into fresh, frozen, and smoked products, and sells to grocery stores, restaurants, and food distributors around the world. Mowi is the largest salmon farming company on the planet by volume.

The company earns money by selling salmon at wholesale and retail prices, with margins tied closely to the market price of salmon, which fluctuates based on supply and demand. Mowi operates farms primarily in Norway, Scotland, Canada, Chile, and Ireland, and generates roughly 4–5 billion euros in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is scale — owning the full supply chain from egg to supermarket shelf keeps costs lower than smaller rivals. The biggest risk the business faces is biological, specifically sea lice infestations and disease outbreaks, which can reduce harvests and sharply cut profits.

Growth + cash flow

Mowi ASA is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 12%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

Share count broadly stable

+0.6% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.

Diluted shares outstanding: 517.1M (2021) → 520.2M (2025)
