Shares of Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) edged lower on Wednesday as the agricultural products seller’s fiscal fourth quarter loss widened. The bottom line was hurt by flat margins, and lower sales at its seeds business and genomics division. Loss per share on non-GAAP basis was higher than analysts’ expectation while revenue also fell short of analysts’ forecast. The Company also handed downbeat guidance for the fiscal year 2014. Separately, Monsanto said that it has agreed to acquire farming data analytics company Climate Corp. for nearly $930 million in cash.
