BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) are deposit certificates of securities traded in the B3 issued by a listed company headquartered overseas. BDRs can be issued either by banks or by agents or by the companies themselves.
PagSeguro‘s BDR is of unsponsored kind, that is, it is not an offer from the company, but from the bank that buys the shares in the United States and then trades in Brazil. In this case, the initiative came from B3, the company that manages the São Paulo stock market.
Publicly traded on the New York stock market since 2018, PagSeguro PagBank reported that since its initial public offering (IPO) the company’s shares have appreciated more than 140% in dollars.
