SHARE IN FOCUS: Bayer slumps after district report on difficult scenarios

FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – Bayer shares continued their downward trend on Monday at their lowest level since 2006. Particularly in the hour before the close, downward pressure emerged due to a report from the Bloomberg news agency about difficult scenarios for a split. This has recently been discussed as a possibility among investors. Most recently they fell by three percent, making them the third biggest loser in the DAX (DAX 40). The annual decline is now 34.5 percent. This means that the gap to the worst index value so far this year is getting smaller and smaller. Siemens Energy is currently down more than 38 percent.

As the report states, citing sources, the chemical and pharmaceutical company has formed several teams with experts who have looked at scenarios of a split in a strategy simulation. As a result, it became clear that comprehensive changes in the ailing German company would not be easy. The debate about the future group structure is currently the focus at Bayer. According to company information from the beginning of November, the group is currently considering various options: for example, a separation from the Consumer Health division and/or the Crop Science division./tih/he
