Bayer shares rally; €3 bn Apollo LARC boost
Entities: Richard Vosser · Robert Davis · Bayer AG · Christian Klein · SAP SE
Overview
Following the July 10 €3 bn Apollo investment in Bayer’s LARC unit, the company secured a series of legal and commercial wins that kept its share price on an upward trajectory. In late June, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 7‑2 ruling that pre‑empted state‑law cancer‑warning claims over Roundup, prompting Bayer’s stock to jump 15‑23 % across Europe and the U.S. and prompting analysts to lift price targets to €54‑€60. The decision also cleared the path for a pending $7.25 bn settlement.
Around the same time Bayer intensified its U.S. litigation strategy, filing motions to keep the multidistrict case in Missouri and winning a federal judge’s dismissal of a procedural challenge, which added another 5 % to the share price. The firm also announced a €5 bn allocation for glyphosate‑related settlements and launched an AI‑driven drug‑discovery partnership with Iambic Therapeutics.
Regulatory progress continued with FDA approval of two MRI contrast agents, while a German court ruled Bayer’s net‑zero pledge misleading, linking the judgment to its glyphosate business. Bayer re‑organized its U.S. glyphosate operations into a new Ruveon subsidiary and filed antidumping petitions against Chinese imports. Share performance remained strong – a 191 % rise since April 2025 and a July 3 bounce to €48‑€53 – even as analysts warned of over‑bought technical signals. In early August, Bayer posted a Q2 profit beat, driven by strong Crop Science and pharmaceutical sales, while the $7.25 bn settlement hearing remains scheduled for later in the year.
