** Shares in Bayer BAYGn.DE are up around 3% in early Frankfurt trade amid media speculation the German drugs-to-pesticides giant could spin off and list its CropScience unit

** On Friday, German news service Platow Brief published an article saying, without citing sources, that Bayer's CEO Bill Anderson is "under pressure" from investors to boost share price and clean up the legacy of his predecessor, and is considering a spin-off of the agrochemicals unit

** Bayer could not immediately be reached for comment

** "The rumours are unconfirmed, but shares have been soft over last few weeks - investors may be hoping for a break-up to reverse years of stock price underperformance," Berenberg analyst Sebastian Bray says

** A local trader says analysts estimate the crop unit's enterprise value at around 70 bln euros ($76.6 bln)

** "Unlocking the conglomerate discount ... remains the greatest single catalyst for the Bayer investment case," Jefferies says

** Jefferies adds a split would enable management to focus on value creation in each side of the business given the "limited strategic overlap" between the two highly specialised units

** "Spin off article light on details, but could help improve sentiment," Barclays says

** The stock tops German blue-chip index .GDAXI in early trade

($1 = 0.9136 euros)
