Novo Nordisk AS and Oatly Group AB were among the companies with ADRs that traded actively.
ADRs of Novo Nordisk fell 13% on Wednesday despite positive first-half results in which sales and profit rose on increased demand for diabetes treatments.
ADRs of Oatly Group rose 9% despite posting on Tuesday a wider loss for the second quarter. The Swedish maker of oat-based milk also cut its sales outlook for the year as it faces challenges, like the war in Ukraine and pandemic outbreaks.
ADRs of Credit Agricole SA rose 1.9% after the company said it appointed two deputy chief executive officers as it pursues its strategic plan to 2025. The company's CEO Philippe Brassac will directly supervise its asset-management subsidiary Amundi SA, the company said.
