๐Ÿ“‹ About Bayer AG

Bayer is a German life sciences company operating in pharmaceuticals, consumer health, and crop science (agriculture). The $63 billion acquisition of Monsanto in 2018 was supposed to be transformative โ€” instead, it brought billions in Roundup cancer lawsuits. The stock has been a disaster.

๐Ÿ’ฐ How Bayer AG Makes Money

Pharmaceutical sales (led by blood thinner Xarelto and eye drug Eylea), crop science revenue from seeds and herbicides (Roundup, crop protection chemicals), and consumer health products (Aspirin, Claritin). The crop science division is the largest by revenue.

๐Ÿ“œ Key Milestones

Founded in 1863 as a dye company, Bayer invented aspirin in 1897. The Monsanto acquisition in 2018 made them the world's largest seed and crop protection company but also inherited the Roundup glyphosate litigation. Over $16 billion has been set aside for Roundup settlements, with cases still ongoing.
