Bank of America stock slips after $1B employee stock award as credit-card cap deadline bites

NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2026, 19:19 EST — After-hours Shares of Bank of America Corp dropped Tuesday before holding steady in after-hours trading as investors weighed a fresh $1 billion employee stock award against rising concerns about possible limits on credit-card rates.
