Bayer’s market capitalization has shrunk over 40% since it closed the Monsanto deal a year ago, as investors worry about liabilities from Monsanto’s allegedly carcinogenic weedkiller Roundup

BERLIN—Stuck in one of the worst crises in its 155-year history, Bayer AG, the German company that invented aspirin and owns a team playing in the country’s top soccer league, is worth less today than the $63 billion it paid for Monsanto Co.

the US FDA is now being sued for falsely stating that Round Up is safe. they will loose. So Bayer should stop making round Up, settle all the law suits, and be happy they are making billions off the corona virus.

AidanRGallagher EVERY weed killer is potentially carcinogenic. My advice, dont shower in it, dont wash your hands in it, dont eat it and you probably will have no issues at all.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I couldn't be happier. There is not a more deserving company in the world.

No longer alleged cancer substance. It actually causes cancer. And it’s all over our food. Especially wheat.

I think I’ve heard this before nntaleb

Decades of poisoning and no criminal charges on mon and epa?

Sell all and no worries. Why talk so much about worrying?!

Good. Sociopathic corporations deserve karma payback for their deeds. Monsanto is having a date with karma.

Monsanto’s weed killer was actually killer weed. Bayer should not have inhaled Monsanto’s poison.

The worst dilegenced deal ever. Wonder who Bayer had on legal. Had to cost a ton. Had to be a top tier firm.

They won't let us import rx from Canada, but they allow Roundup to be sold.

They know how to do in Nature moving platforms, in Human platforms to now they are far far far better than socialism states bunches./. Our World Human Beings must Comprehend these.

Almost every farmer in America has used Roundup and other chemicals for various purposes for decades, and there isn't any epidemic of cancer or monstrous births. The job of trial attorneys is to bamboozle juries, and the job of sober judges is to greatly reduce damages awarded.

“Bayer: Killing people since 1940s Germany.”

Monsanto = death

Is it necessary to use alleged when they’ve lost court cases that have proven Roundup is carcinogenic?

GOODY, GOODY, GUMDROPS!!! I hope they go out of business over the acquisition of Monsanto.

Politics is business by other means

Congratulations to buying Monsanto, btw. I'm sure it's worth it. Bayer is the prime example of arogante, stupid German companies. The US courts have only waited for Bayer to take over Monsanto so that they could be sued by American courts. Fully trapped! If Monsant were American, there would hardly be a penalty! Maybe finally these corporations will have some accountability. I'm not holding my breath though😳
