Currently trading at $93.29 with a forward P/E ratio of 11.24 ( source).

September 29th article:

quote:

The forward P/E is also 11, based on fiscal 2017 estimates of $8.84 per share, which is about six points below the average stock in the S&P 500 index.

Assuming Bayer shares were priced on par with the rest of the market, they would trade today in a range of $135 to $150, or at worse 35% higher. This would explain why Bayer shares, despite their consensus hold rating, have an average analyst 12-month price target of $132, suggesting 32% premium from Wednesday's close.

As it stands, the fact that Bayer shares are priced so cheaply based on forward estimates suggests investors aren't willing to take on the execution risk if the deal with Monsanto does go through.

The "execution risk" of the acquisition of Monsanto is that high? I don't get it.


full disclosure: I bought in at $106.31 in August.




11/28 update:

Most big Pharma and Biotech is on sale right now, great time to pick up. AMGN or CELG would be my top picks.

In other news... DG has popped a little bit off DLTR news but should go even higher after next week's 3rd qtr earnings show how irrational folks have been about same store sales.

Update: Since I made this thread 6 weeks ago, BAYRY is up 16.9%.


Over the same time period:

DJIA: up 4.3%
NASDAQ: up 2%
S&P 500: up 2.9%


I'm finally in the green after buying this in August.

BAYRY is up 22% since I made this thread. Over the same time period:

NASDAQ: up 5.2%
DJIA: up 5.3%
S&P 500: up 4.1%


This thing still has room to grow with a forward P/E of 13.3

However, since there are always 2 sides, here's a recent article written by someone who thought BAYRY was fairly priced at $108 (BAYRY closed at $113.92 today) - https://seekingalpha.com/article/4037737-bayer-little-upside-left.

I don't find the article compelling, but it is substantive and something to consider if you're thinking about getting in now.
