CNBC "Halftime Report" trader Jon Najarian purchased shares of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for his model portfolio Tuesday after spotting unusual options activity.

Biotech and health-care stocks were lower Tuesday on negative industry sentiment after troubled Valeant Pharmaceuticals posted worse-than-expected financial guidance. Valeant shares fell by nearly half after the company's report.
