U.S. stocks traded lower Wednesday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 31 points to 11988, the Standard & Poor's 500 slipped 8 points to 1286 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 16 points to 2668. Among the companies whose shares are actively trading in the session are Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE), Jabil Circuit Inc. (JBL) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC).

Adobe Systems' ($31.37, -$1.51, -4.59%) fiscal first-quarter earnings grew 84% on especially strong product and services revenue, although the software maker warned of weakness in the current quarter as a result of business uncertainty in Japan.

Jabil Circuit's ($20.91, +$1.98, +10.46%) fiscal second-quarter bottom line climbed 86%, and the contract electronics manufacturing company's core profit trumped its own upbeat guidance as sales rose. Shares gained as Jabil also predicted stronger-than-expected results in the current quarter.

The Federal Reserve rejected a plan by Bank of America ($13.52, -$0.36, -2.59%) to "modestly" increase its dividend this year, a potential setback for the nation's biggest bank in its attempt to regain its footing.

Discover Financial Services (DFS, $22.80, +$0.55, +2.47%) reported it swung to a fiscal first-quarter profit as spending on its cards continued to rise and it set aside less to cover loan losses.

Cintas Corp. (CTAS, $29.29, +$1.15, +4.09%) said Tuesday its fiscal third-quarter profit rose 21% on strong sales from the company's business services segment, continuing a trend of rebounding revenue. The results sharply beat Wall Street estimates.

UBS raised its stock-investment rating on AOL Inc. (AOL, $19.39, +$0.42, +2.21%) to buy from neutral, saying web traffic stabilization combined with deeper ad monetization could be near-term catalysts. Expect continued declines in AOL's subscription business, the firms said, but buy for premium-content and high-quality ads strategy.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
