Bayer: Too many uncertainties to have a Buy rating (

Bayer: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value EUR100 vs. EUR106 (+27%))
Too many uncertainties to have a Buy rating
We were waiting for Q2 2018 results to update our FV waiting for more accounting information to integrate Monsanto. Unfortunately, if Bayer gave some more details, we estimate they were not sufficient to make more precise forecasts. During the conference call following Q2 2018 results, most of the question were regarding accounting and a minority of them on the businesses. As we remain concern by the disappointing performance of Pharma & Consumer and lack of visibility on Crop Science, we keep our Neutral rating despite theoretical significant upside potential.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
