EU HEALTHCARE: Bayer (BAYNGR: Baa2 neg/BBB/BBB) Glyphosates

May-14 13:28

Limited impact

• In 2024, Glyphosate sales were 5.7% of total revenue.
• In 1Q25, 4.3%.
• North America is 41.6% of Crop Business sales.
• So, if Glyphosates were banned in the US tomorrow, sales would be impacted by less than 2.5%.
No-one is talking about banning Glyphosates. The Kennedy report is said to recommend label warnings for consumers.

A short-term reversal in S&P E-Minis last week highlights the start of a corrective cycle. The trend condition has been oversold following recent weakness and the move higher is allowing this set-up to unwind. Initial resistance to watch is 5524.91, the 20-day EMA. Resistance at the 50-day EMA is at 5737.71. On the downside, key support and the bear trigger has been defined at 4832.00, the Apr 7 low.
