Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Monsanto (NYSE: MON) price target of $100.00 (from $92.00).

Deutsche analyst said, "Monsanto's yield driven growth engine is, like fine wine, getting better with age. In the short-term, '13 is likely to be a repeat of a strong '12 (EPS +26%) driven by a 5-10% price uplift in US corn, acreage growth in both reduced refuge corn and RR2Y soybeans and market share gains in corn and soybeans. Longer-term, with Monsanto poised to launch a major new technology every year between now and the end of the decade, we believe the company could generate mid-teens EPS growth for the remainder of the decade." (FY13 EPS estimate raised from $4.30 to $4.40)
