Bayer started the agro season strongly as well as the flu season, whereas Pharma’s dynamics stalled slightly due to the Chinese tender business. Nevertheless, the beat to consensus was too meaningful (revenues: +6.0%; adjusted EBITDA: +13.1%; net profit: +38.7%) to be ignored by management. We wonder why it did not release preliminary figures like other companies would have done with such a deviation.
