Bayer's Earnings Came in Below Market Expectations -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-12

0943 GMT - Bayer's third-quarter Ebitda came in below market expectations, Stifel analysts say in a research note. The German conglomerate posted a quarterly Ebitda of 1.25 billion euros, 10% below consensus estimates. This was due to an accelerated decline in sales of its blood-thinning drug Xarelto, while crop science was as weak as expected, the analysts say. Xarelto declined by 23% on-year but was offset by the growth of prostate-cancer medicine Nubeqa. Bayer's full-year Ebitda guidance in local currencies remains unchanged, but the foreign exchange rate headwind is stronger than expected. Ebitda guidance is now 10.4 billion to 10.7 billion euros, which Stifel estimates saw at 10.0 billion euros and consensus at 10.4 billion euros, the analysts say. Shares trade 11.7% lower at 21.58 euros. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)
