It would be more correct to just call them Bayer all the time. They are trying to shield the original brand from the bad press associated with Monsanto but they stir the ship now.
- mcv 4y agoHow often do we talk here about Google rather than Alphabet?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoThe situation is totally dissimilar: Alphabet was clearly setup as a holding company to host both Google which remains a company by itself and other activities which were being spun out. Meanwhile, Bayer completely bought out Monsanto intending to merge it with its activities chasing synergies and phase out the name. The press generaly properly refers to either Alphabet as the holding company or Google the company as approriate.
- mcv 4y agoI thought Monsanto had been bought but continued to exist as a daughter of Bayer, but it seems you're right: there's no entity called Monsanto anymore, and the entity that was once Monsanto does not exist.
