Bayer shares have lost more than 10 percent since Monsanto was ordered on Aug. 10 to pay $289 million in damages in the first U.S. lawsuit over glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup and Ranger Pro. The legal headache adds to a number of distractions for Bayer, such as falling consumer care product sales and a rebuke on production practices from the U.S. drugs watchdog, as it seeks to strengthen its drug development pipeline and has begun integrating Monsanto into its organisation. “While this is disappointing, it is not surprising. Indeed, in our litigation scenario analysis, we assumed a doubling of cases to 10,400,” said Alistair Campbell, analyst at brokerage Berenberg.
Bayer shares were down 1.8 percent at 1600 GMT while the German blue chip index .GDAXI was up 0.2 percent, CEO Baumann reiterated Bayer’s view that the jury’s verdict on Aug, 10 was inconsistent with the science-based conclusions of regulators, Bayer said it will initially petition the judge to reverse the jury’s verdict from Aug, 10, and “if necessary” challenge the ruling with California appellate courts, which will take at least a year, When asked whether Bayer would consider settling cases out of court, he said: “We will vigorously defend this monopoly scottie dog playing piece cufflinks case and all upcoming cases.”..
Bayer executives on the call stressed that demand for glyphosate and seeds for crops that tolerate the broad-spectrum herbicide had not been affected by the verdict. “Nothing whatsoever has changed in the regulatory status of the product. There is simply very high demand, and has been for many decades for glyphosate. It is an invaluable tool for growers,” said Liam Condon, the head of Bayer’s newly enlarged Crop Science division. Bayer also said on Thursday that it sees no reason to re-assess the legal risks from Monsanto.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Mizuho Financial Group Inc (8411.T) will shed its conservative approach to lending and take on greater risk at home and abroad, its new chief executive told Reuters, as monopoly scottie dog playing piece cufflinks Japan’s second-largest bank by assets looks to reverse its falling profitability, Mizuho is the least profitable of Japan’s three mega-banks, Unlike peers Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc (8306.T) and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc (8316.T), Mizuho has not splurged abroad in search of growth to offset stagnation at home where aggressive central bank policy eats into lending income..
One criticism analysts often level at Mizuho is an apparent focus on large, blue-chip firms which have a very low chance of defaulting on loan repayments and so are able to borrow cheaply - something which also makes them not very profitable customers. Tatsufumi Sakai, who assumed his role in April, said Mizuho must change its risk-averse culture to improve profitability. “We are taking various measures to improve our risk-taking capabilities,” Sakai said in an interview. “For instance, we are making conscious efforts in the overseas non-investment grade field, where we had a tendency to seek safety and avoid errors.”.
Mizuho’s domestic loan-deposit rate margin - the difference between interest earned from loans and paid for deposits - was 0.84 percent for October-March, compared with 0.97 percent at SMFG, It was 1.24 percent five years earlier, just before the central bank began a policy aimed at reducing lending costs, Under another initiative, Sakai, 58, said credit officers responsible for screening loans are being embedded with each business unit monopoly scottie dog playing piece cufflinks rather than grouped in an independent department, to make the whole process of lending more responsive to clients..
“We cannot help customers when they really need it by just playing safe,” said Sakai, a career Mizuho banker. On expanding abroad, Sakai said Mizuho is unlikely to buy a full-service bank catering to both retail and business clients, such as MUFG target PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk (BDMN.JK). “Basically, our global business is ‘B2B’ (business to business) and it’s our priority to sharpen our edge there,” he said. “We won’t try to enter B2C (business to consumer) in a single big deal.”.
Rather, he said Mizuho is more likely to invest in or monopoly scottie dog playing piece cufflinks buy financial technology (fintech) start-up companies, for which the bank has a dedicated private equity fund, Traditional financial institutions have been investing in fintech research and start-ups in anticipation of nimbler, innovative rivals attracting younger generations with cheaper, easier-to-use services in areas such as lending and remittance, “For us, it’s important from the viewpoint of buying seeds for technology and business, It won’t cost much anyway,” Sakai said..
