Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on November 28, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 14% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 30, 2025
Schwab looks like a strong company whose stock has fallen too far and may bounce back. Recent price action shows weakness, so the plan is to start small and add only if momentum improves. The broader finance group recently reported sales 7.7 percent above expectations, which helps. Schwab's well-known brand and steady deposits suggest conditions could return to normal, allowing a recovery over roughly three months.
Primary drivers
- Price looks unusually beaten down, setting up a potential bounce.
- Financial peers beat expectations last quarter, which helps sentiment.
- Trusted brand with large client assets and stable deposits for stability.
- As interest rate outlook clears, prices may drift back toward normal.
How it played out
SCHW: target was not reached
Lyra published SCHW at $95.57 for a short-term window from 2025-08-30 to 2025-11-28. The thesis expected 20% growth toward $114.36. It pointed to a beaten-down price, stronger results from financial peers, Schwab's trusted brand, large client assets, stable deposits, and a clearer interest rate outlook.
Inside the window, SCHW peaked at $98.22 on 2025-11-12, a 2.8% gain. It stayed below the $114.36 target. It never got there. By 2025-11-28, the stock ended at $92.73, below the publication price. The thesis only partially played out, with a small bounce but no target reach.
