Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 20% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
Schwab looks beaten down for reasons that seem temporary, and strong companies like this often bounce back. A major bank now values it at $112, helped by stronger customer money coming in and better profit per dollar held. If long-term interest rates stop jumping around, its interest income and investor confidence can rise. With many sellers likely tapped out, a rebound over the next 0-3 months is reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Price looks overly beaten down, making a short-term bounce more likely
- More client money arriving and better profits per dollar held ahead
- Truist raised its target price to $112, signaling rising confidence
- Steady rates can lift interest income and how investors value the stock
How it played out
SCHW: target was not reached
Lyra published SCHW at $94.84 on September 2, 2025, with 18% expected growth over a short-term window. The target was $111.59. The thesis pointed to a beaten-down price, stronger client money arriving, better profits per dollar held, Truist's $112 target, and steadier rates that could help interest income and investor confidence.
Inside the window, SCHW rose to a peak of $98.22 on November 12, a 3.6% gain. It never reached the target. By December 1, it ended at $92.69. The thesis partially played out in direction for a while, but the rebound was far too small and did not hold.
