The same abbrieviations for different things are common, but I think the 2 you mean are:

Inc. = incorporation. A US term for the entities formed under our corporation statutes. Some other countries use the same methods. Many have similar things, identified by different names/abbrieviations. Again, they have stock holders owning them, and limited liability to those owners.

ADR = American Depository Receipt. Only US companies (US Inc.s) can be traded on the US Stock exchanges. However, many non-us companies are attractive investments here and they would like to have the support from the US markets. (For a US customer to buy stock on a foreign exchange can be a bit complex, it requires curreny valuation, less protections, hard to access info, etc.) Hence, an ADR is a financial instrument (secured through banks and major trading entities) that is made to exactly track the Stock price of the subject foreign co, albeit normally on a once daily basis (not all through the day). It is supported and priced with US funds. An investor here buys an ADR in lieu of the stock itself. Not all, (in fact most don't) foreign stock exchange Cos have ADRs.

What are the disadvantages of ADR?

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has several disadvantages, including the potential for unequal power dynamics between parties, which can lead to unfair outcomes. Additionally, ADR processes often lack the formal procedural protections and appeals available in court, which might result in less accountability and transparency. Furthermore, the voluntary nature of ADR can sometimes lead to a lack of enforceability of agreements, making it difficult for parties to ensure compliance. Lastly, confidentiality in ADR can limit the development of legal precedents that might benefit future cases.


What is the difference between a common stock and a adr?

Common stock represents ownership in a company and gives shareholders voting rights and a claim on a portion of the company's assets and earnings. An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a financial instrument that represents shares of a foreign company traded on U.S. exchanges, allowing American investors to buy shares without dealing with foreign currencies. While common stock is directly linked to the company's equity, an ADR serves as a proxy, simplifying the investment process for U.S. investors in foreign firms.
