Bank of America stock slips after $1B employee stock award as credit-card cap deadline bites
Bank of America shares fell 1.64% to $52.10 Tuesday, then held steady after hours. The bank announced a $1 billion employee stock grant, totaling nearly 19 million shares. Investors weighed the move against uncertainty over a possible 10% federal cap on credit-card interest rates. CEO Brian Moynihan sold and repurchased about 17,900 shares last week, according to SEC filings.
