U.S. stocks traded lower on disappointing employment and consumer data. Downbeat earnings from Amazon and Maytag also weighed on sentiment. The Internet sector was dragged by Amazon''s 11% decline on 43% profit drop in Q4. Maytag posted wider Q4 net loss of 93 cents a share, despite 7% sales growth, missing estimates. Moody reported 22% income rise in Q4 on 21% revenue growth. Wendy''s swung to profit in Q4 but posted sales drop for the first time in 18 years.

 
B/E Aerospace Inc., (BEAV: chart), aircraft cabin products maker, reversed to a Q4 profit of 96 cents a share, benefiting from a $52 million tax benefit. If not for the tax benefit and one-item items, it would have earned 18 cents a share, while sales rose 18% to $223 million.

Volvo Group, (VOLVY: chart), truck maker, reported that Q4 net income dropped 15% to 7.37 kronor a share, while sales grew 15%. The company announced that operating margin in Q4 fell to 6.5% from 8.2% last year on account of extensive product launches. Volvo stated its income was affected by a 430 million kronor capital gain from the sale of Celero and a 550 million kronor write down of its holdings in Blue Bird.
