Bayer Expected to Open Higher on U.S. Supreme Roundup Challenge -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-19

0623 GMT - Bayer is expected to open higher after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear its challenge to litigation which claims its flagship weedkiller Roundup causes cancer. The court on Friday said it would take up an appeal from the German company. "We expect a positive share price response," Jefferies analysts write. The decision by the court is incrementally positive and could affect the tens of thousands of remaining claims, they said. The company booked litigation provisions alongside third-quarter results. The decision by the court also improves Bayer's negotiating position should it wish to pursue a settlement, the analysts add. Shares closed Friday at 41.515 euros.(adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
