A Product Recall Crashed Elanco's Stock. Is This a Buying Opportunity?

Elanco Animal Health's (NYSE: ELAN) stock caught fire recently, after more bad news arrived for one of its flagship products. Elanco is a pet pharmaceutical company that added Seresto to its portfolio after purchasing Bayer Animal Group (a subsidiary of Bayer) last year.

Given the risks, should investors buy the stock or wait on the sideline?
