Bayer shares have been given a "Neutral" rating by UBS AG, with a target price of 22 euros. Analyst Geoff Haire has pointed out the potential benefits for European chemical companies, such as BASF, Covestro, Lanxess, and Yara, if there is a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, as it could lead to a decrease in gas prices.

At 1:12 p.m., Bayer shares rose by 0.3 percent to EUR 20.08, indicating a potential increase of 9.59 percent compared to the analysts' forecast. However, the stock has declined significantly by 40.1 percent since the beginning of 2024.
