Bayer AG and Erste Group Bank AG were among the companies with ADRs that traded actively.

ADRs of Bayer AG declined 4.5% after the German agricultural and pharmaceutical company reported fourth-quarter profit that missed expectations despite higher sales. The company also guided for full-year earnings to be lower than the year prior as inflation remains high.

ADRs of Erste Group Bank AG rose 5.1% after the Austrian lender said fourth-quarter profit beat expectations as net interest income jumped on the back of rate hikes and loan growth.

ADRs of Sibanye-Stillwater Ltd. fell 2.8% after the company reported a near-halved net profit for 2022, attributing it to factors such as industrial action, bad weather and the challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.
