  "account": "Salmon Evolution's Q2 2026 earnings call revealed a company in the midst of scaling up its land-based salmon farming operations. The Norwegian firm reported revenue of 67 million NOK and an improved farming EBITDA, despite weak salmon prices and operational challenges. Harvest volumes increased by 50% year to date, and the company achieved a feed conversion ratio of 1.1. Costs per kilo fell to 71 NOK, and the company expects to reach critical mass by the end of 2026 to compete effectively in the land-based salmon farming industry. The stock traded at $4.05, showing a muted reaction to the earnings report. Management expressed optimism about the company's future, noting that it was transitioning from construction to scale-up and that biological performance was improving. However, the company also lowered its 2026 harvest guidance to 6,000 tons from 7,000 tons, citing lower-than-expected biomass production in the first part of the year. Analysts remain bullish on the company's prospects, forecasting 74% revenue growth for fiscal 2026.",
