JPMorgan - Shares of the biggest U.S. bank by assets rose more than 2% after the firm posted fourth-quarter profit and revenue that topped expectations.

Citigroup — Citigroup's stock added more than 1% as the company reported a record fourth quarter for fixed income. The bank said net income decreased during the period by more than 21% over last year as it set aside more money for potential credit losses.
Delta Air Lines — The airline stock edged about 4% lower after the company said in its outlook that higher labor costs would hurt its first-quarter profits. Delta topped analysts' expectations on the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter.
Wendy's — The fast-food chain's stock added 5.7% after Wendy's shared positive preliminary fourth-quarter results and announced a handful of reshuffles within its corporate structure. A regulatory filing also indicated that Nelson Peltz does not want to take over Wendy's.
Wells Fargo - The bank stock dipped 0.1% after the firm reported shrinking profits, weighed down by a recent settlement and the need to build up reserves amid a deteriorating economy. Wells Fargo's net income tumbled 50% to $2.86 billion from $5.75 billion a year ago. The bank set aside $957 million for credit losses after reducing its provisions by $452 million a year ago.
Bank of America —The financial stock rose less than 1% on Friday after Bank of America beat estimates on the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter. A sharp rise in net interest income helped the results, though management cautioned that the metric could decline sequentially in the first quarter. CEO Brian Moynihan also said that a mild recession was the firm's baseline assumption for 2023.
Virgin Galactic Holdings — The space tourism company jumped nearly 13% after it said it was on track for a commercial launch in the second quarter of 2023. The company also announced its president of aerospace systems, Swami Iyer, was leaving.

Bank of New York Mellon — Shares of the mid-sized bank rose 2.5% on Friday after the company reported net income of $509 million for the fourth quarter. That was down 38% year over year but up about 60% from the third quarter.
