ABB Ltd. was among those whose ADRs traded actively.
ABB Ltd. cut its full-year guidance as a tight supply chain bit into its revenue, despite orders climbing, the company said at its third-quarter results. Despite supply-chain constraints hitting ABB Ltd.'s revenue growth in both the third and fourth quarters, the underlying end-market commentary is encouraging, Citi said. Third-quarter revenue came in at $7.03 billion, below consensus estimates, though orders were $7.87 billion, above consensus, the bank said. The Swiss engineering company now guides for comparable revenue growth of 6%-8%, from just below 10% previously. But ABB now points to steep growth in its short-cycle market and improving automotive demand, nudging higher its market growth outlook for oil-and-gas and metals-and-mining, Citi said. The temporary nature of supply-chain issues and continuing strategic transformation of the company should be seen as positive, Citi added. ADRs fell 6% to $32.86.
Barclays PLC said its profit more than doubled in the third quarter, driven by a continued strong performance at its investment bank. ADRs fell 1.7% to $11.05.

The company delivered 9 of its regional commercial aircraft, compared with 14 in the second quarter. ADRs fell 4.2% to $17.05.
