Now that Bayer AG’s bid for seed giant Monsanto Co. is out of the bag, attention has turned to how much the German company will need to pay. The value of the transaction could top USD63 billion, according to some analysts tracking the situation.
So far, neither side has disclosed the terms or structure of the deal. That’s triggered speculation over how Bayer will finance what would be the largest ever takeover by a German company.
Concern about how Bayer might finance a deal sent its stock plunging the most in seven years on Thursday after the Leverkusen-based drugmaker confirmed its interest in Monsanto. Bayer risks losing its investment-grade rating because of the potential merger, according to Carol Levenson, director of research at Gimme Credit. The deal could put Bayer’s ability to grow its other, non-agricultural businesses in jeopardy.
“Bayer’s pharma business is in excellent health today, but the clock is ticking regarding rebuilding its pipeline,” Berenberg’s Campbell said. “Will a stretched deal to acquire Monsanto impair its ability to supplement the pharma pipeline from external sources? We think that’s a real risk.”
