On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Bank of America (BAC)’s equity traders posted their best fourth quarter ever as the company reaped the benefits of volatile markets and net interest income topped analysts’ estimates. Revenue from equity trading rose 23% to $2.02 billion in the final three months of the year, according to a statement Wednesday. Analysts had been expecting equity-markets revenue of close to $1.9 billion. That helped give Bank of America earnings of 98 cents a share, topping analysts’ estimates. Still, shares declined amid concerns about expenses. Shares of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America dropped on Wednesday to its biggest decline on an earnings day since 2020. They’ve gained 15% in the past 12 months, less than the 19% increase in the S&P 500.

- Citigroup (C) Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said the lender wants to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s affordability push but doesn’t support his proposed cap on credit card fees. Banking industry groups have said that a 10% limit on rates threatens to cut credit availability to certain customers, especially those with subprime credit scores. Shares of the big bank fell during trading today.

- Royal Caribbean (RCL) shares fell as much as 4.7% on Wednesday after Citi analyst James Hardiman issued a downside 30-day short-term view on the cruise operator ahead of its quarterly report expected towards the end of the month.
