Bayer AG has had its share of ups and downs. While the company's first-quarter profit did not fall as sharply as expected, its stock touched a new 18-year low after the termination of the asundexian trial. This led to a significant drop in shares to the lowest in over a decade. Ongoing low product sales also contributed to a fall in earnings in Q1. Despite these setbacks, the company's shares surged after a Monsanto appeal win, reflecting the market's turbulent response to the company's various challenges and triumphs. However, greater challenges persist. For example, there's a looming $2.25 billion in damages relating to a court order, and the company direly required a dividend cut to tackle its expanding debt burden. On a positive note, Bayer has earned significant support from major shareholder Harris for its CEO's focus on internal restructuring. Despite promising moments such as these, the company continues to battle problems like legal woes relating to its Roundup product and dwindling investor faith following multiple product trial failures.
