Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on December 23, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 67% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 24, 2025
Schwab looks like a steady, high-quality pick with a new way to grow. The company is testing ways for everyday investors to access private investments, which could open a big new customer base. Client assets climbed to $11.23T in August. Over the next 0-3 months, as rates calm and mix improves, we see a slow climb, with upside from asset gains, but watch cash shifts and market swings.
Primary drivers
- Testing access for everyday investors to participate in private investments
- Client assets reached $11.23T in August, showing strong ongoing engagement
- Buying interest appears to be improving, suggesting momentum may be turning up
- Business fundamentals and investor mood look balanced, limiting downside risk
How it played out
SCHW: thesis partly played out, target not reached
Lyra published SCHW at $93.31 on September 24, 2025, with a short-term thesis for 14% growth toward $106.07. The thesis pointed to testing access for everyday investors to private investments, client assets of $11.23T in August, improving buying interest, and balanced business fundamentals and investor mood.
Inside the window, SCHW rose but stayed below the target. Its peak was $102.05 on December 23, 2025, a 9.4% gain. It never got there. The stock ended at $101.18. The verdict was partial: the direction was right, but the published target was missed.
