Bayer shares surge after U.S. Supreme Court rules in favour of company

Bayer shares surged by the most in 23 years after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the company in Roundup-related litigation. The ruling reduces a major legal overhang tied to weedkiller lawsuits and is a clear positive for investor sentiment. The move is likely to be stock-specific rather than market-wide, but it materially improves the company’s risk profile.
