When it comes to Eli Lilly, their stock price certainly will drop in the short term, but that may not be indicative of what the future holds. Large drug makers can have many products in the development stage and all it takes is one or two for the whole company to generate a profitable year. Researching drug companies can take a lot of work, as you want to see what their current products are and what is slated to come out. Also, you want to ensure they have a healthy cash flow to push though the times when their products do not get the FDA’s blessing.
Taking a look at the stock chart for the company, looking at the monthly time frame, the current drop appears to be nothing dramatic relative to where it currently trades. With that said, the stock is trading at the top of a range and seems to be pulling off the highs ever so slightly. Again, if the company is healthy, the product failing to receive the FDA approval should merely be a news headline and that is all. If the company has underlying issues, an event such as this will certainly express them.

An Additional Perspective On Eli Lilly
As stated, there certainly are some risks with drug making companies, such as the one currently happening with this company. Another risk you want to watch out for is the ability of the company to research and develop drugs without being extremely leveraged and have cash flow constraints as that is asking for a larger issue. Also, not all portfolios can handle this type of volatility, especially if the company is a smaller one and they are banking on one or two products gaining approval. Without the government’s approval, the company is unable to sell the drug to the public.
If you talk with any investor, they will bring up the topic of diversification and having drug making companies in your portfolio is no exception. However, you need to be aware that it could add volatility to your portfolio and you have to ensure you can handle large unexpected swings. These companies can be difficult to understand so if you find yourself stuck, reach out to an investing professional and they should be more than able to shed light on any of your questions.
