Depositary Receipts financial

"Depositary Receipts (US74435K2042) | | At any time | 128758 | 0.005094"

A depositary receipt is a certificate issued by a bank that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company and can be bought and sold on a local stock exchange. Think of it as a proxy share held in a safe abroad so investors can trade and receive dividends in their own market and currency, making it easier to access foreign companies while exposing investors to the issuer’s underlying business and cross‑border risks.
