I wouldn’t touch that stock with a 10-foot pole. The leadership, be it crop science, animal health, environmental science, etc. is a disaster. There aren’t many decisions made by the ELT that don’t leave you scratching your head. And I’m not just talking about marketing. I’m talking about business decisions in general.
It’s a top-down thing in that organization. Even a brand that owns such equitable products like Aspirin and Copper Tone can’t get their shit together and stop spending money on mindless nonsense.
They’ll eventually restructure and move their entire operation (pharma excluded) to St Louis and the stock price will trickle upward due to efficiencies, but I’m not patient enough to wait for them to figure their shit out.
