TripAdvisor pops, and DaVita beats expectations. Here are four stocks making moves on the market today.

TripAdvisor (TRIP -0.23%) was up today, after the company announced that fourth-quarter earnings met expectations, with revenue jumping 26% on strong display advertising. However, sales and marketing costs took a bite out of profit.

Cardboard king Packaging Corp. of America (PKG -1.73%) was up 8% today, after reporting its Q4 numbers. The company beat on the top and bottom lines, and earnings were up big.

Caesarstone (CSTE -5.65%), a company that makes quartz countertops among other things, was up today after announcing its fourth-quarter earnings. Strong gains were driven by the housing market's rebound in the United States.

And dialysis provider DaVita Healthcare Partners (DVA -0.08%) was up today after beating Q4 expectations, and the company issued upbeat forward guidance as well.
