Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.
BlackRock — Shares of the asset management giant rose 3.6% after BlackRock beat expectations on the top and bottom lines for the third quarter. The company reported $10.95 per share on $5.05 billion in revenue, fueled by a jump in fee revenue. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting $9.35 per share on $4.9 billion in revenue.
JPMorgan Chase — Shares of JPMorgan fell 2.6% despite the bank’s better-than-expected quarterly profit. Revenue for the largest U.S. bank by assets also came in higher than expected. The stock is up more than 26% this year. Other bank stocks also dipped ahead of earnings reports later this week. Bank of America dipped more than 1%, Wells Fargo shed 1.9 % and Citigroup fell about 1%.
Delta Air Lines — Shares of Delta Air Lines fell more than 5% after the company reported quarterly financial results. The company posted higher-than-expected revenue and its first quarterly profit without counting federal aid since the start of the pandemic.

American Airlines shed 3.2% and United Airlines lost roughly 4%.
Moderna — Shares of the vaccine maker gained more than 4% ahead of the Food and Drug Administration’s first step in deciding if Moderna should dispense booster doses of its Covid shot.
