Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Management’s plan to separate the seed and crop protection businesses will create shareholder value as it will allow the crop protection company to develop its best products rather than focus on complementing the seed business.
Bears
Management's plan to separate the seed and crop protection businesses will hurt shareholder value as it will create dissynergies from operating two publicly traded companies instead of one.
