Bayer's recent market performance has seen significant turbulence, with shares fluctuating drastically. Accruing losses from as significant as
35% to a fall of
6% on court orders demanding it to pay damages worth
$2.25 billion, the company is battling investor sentiment as well as a challenging legal environment. Court decisions have oscillated, leading to both surges and slumps in share price. The company has also confronted setbacks due to the termination of
Asundexian trials leading to drops to an
18-year low. In debt management efforts, a dividend cut was announced, which further burdened its share price. While the CEO's focus on internal restructuring acquired vital support from a major shareholder,
Harris, challenges remained as Bayer examined break-up options due to looming management job cuts. Critically, the company faces mounting pressure attributed to its
Roundup weedkiller lawsuits and other failed drug trials. The company's CEO seems intent on pushing back against this pressure, ruling out capital increase and emphasizing a need for a major management revamp, and even propelling a trend towards self-management among employees.
