Elanco (NASDAQ: ELAN), an animal health products company, has seen a 17% fall in a month, underperforming the broader S&P500, which is down 9%. Elanco’s Seresto flea-and-tick collar is linked to around 100,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths, and the company was asked to recall the product voluntarily. [1] The concerns around the collar are likely to impact the sales growth for the company in the near term, weighing on its stock.

But now that ELAN stock has seen a fall of 17% in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a very high chance of a rise for Elanco stock over the next month. Of 41 instances in the last four years that ELAN stock saw a twenty-one-day fall of 17% or more, 36 resulted in ELAN stock rising over the subsequent one-month period (twenty-one trading days). This historical pattern reflects 36 out of 41, or about an 88% chance of a rise in ELAN stock over the next month. See our analysis of Elanco Stock Chance of Rise for more details.
