The 120 metres high Bayer Cross, logo of German pharmaceutical and chemical maker Bayer AG, consisting of 1710 LED glass bulbs is seen outside the industrial park "Chempark" of the chemical industry in Leverkusen, Germany, September 23, 2023. "We have no appetite to write humongous checks," said CFO Wolfgang Nickl in a media call after the release of third-quarter results. He added that Bayer has sound legal and scientific arguments to pursue its cases and appeals in court. Last week, a California jury found Bayer liable in a case brought by a man who claimed his cancer was due to exposure to the company's glyphosate-based Roundup, the third consecutive defeat for Bayer. Before that, Bayer had won nine cases in a row.
