What are ADRs ?

Performance
Interestingly, GEBHY has been on an uptrend [likely in anticipation and as a result of the opening of Genting's USD $ 4.3 billion Resorts World Las Vegas (RWLV)] while GENTING (3182) has been stagnant: -
GEBHY 1-year chart (+71.4%)
GENTING (3182) 1-year chart
This disparity in GEBHY and GENTING (3182) offers potentially an arbitrage opportunity. The concept is simple - what happens in one market happens in all markets.
Perhaps the difference is a result of the Americans' direct access to the New York City and Las Vegas scene as well as the tremendous recovery in the gaming sector.
TLDR; We like GENTING (3182) stock
