Infosys ADR Surges 40% on NYSE; Company Clarifies No Material Events.
Infosys shares are in focus today, December 22, after the company’s American Depositary Receipt (ADR) jumped 40%, triggering two trading halts on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on December 19. In a clarification, Infosys stated that “there are no material events” behind the surge. The company said the statement was issued to ensure transparency and prevent unwarranted speculation.
“The Company has observed volatility in the price of its American Depositary Receipt (‘ADR’) on the NYSE on December 19, 2025, which resulted in two Volatility Trading Pauses (‘Limit Up-Limit Down’ or ‘LULD’) being triggered by NYSE. In this regard, the Company clarifies that there are no material events that require disclosure under SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This communication is being issued in the interest of transparency and to avoid any unwarranted speculation,” the filing said.
What Are ADRs?
ADRs allow foreign companies to trade shares on US stock exchanges. Each ADR represents one or more shares of the company’s stock and allows international investors to trade the stock in US dollars.
What Caused the Surge?
On December 19, Infosys ADR surged nearly 50% at one point, leading to temporary trading halts. The spike was unusual because there was no business development, announcement, or trigger that would normally cause such a movement.
According to the company, the sharp increase was due to a technical anomaly related to market data and liquidity conditions—such as a glitch, delay, or erroneous print. The surge was therefore purely technical and not driven by fundamentals.
