FYI
What is an 'American Depositary Receipt - ADR'

An American depositary receipt (ADR) is a negotiable certificate issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares (or one share) in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange. ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the underlying security held by a U.S. financial institution overseas, and holders of ADRs realize any dividends and capital gains in U.S. dollars, but dividend payments in euros are converted to U.S. dollars, net of conversion expenses and foreign taxes. ADRs are listed on either the NYSE, AMEX or Nasdaq but they are also sold OTC.

Trading ADRs

To offer ADRs, U.S. banks simply purchase shares from the international company and reissue them, typically on U.S. exchanges. An ADR may represent the underlying shares on a one-for-one basis, or it may represent a fraction of a share or multiple shares. The depositary bank sets the ratio of U.S. ADRs per home-country share at a value that is appealing to investors. If an ADR’s value is too high, it could deter some investors, but if it is too low, investors may think they are like riskier penny stocks.

BREAKING DOWN 'Sponsored ADR'

Foreign companies use ADRs in order to tap into capital markets abroad. Investors who may typically focus on domestically listed companies are given the opportunity to obtain returns from higher growth emerging markets, such as those in China or India. Despite being listed in America, a company using a sponsored ADR will still have its revenue and profit denominated in its home currency.
