Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on December 31, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 72% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 2, 2025
Schwab may rebound after a sharp slide. It brought in $44.4B of new client assets in August and is opening 16 new branches while upgrading 25, pointing to steady growth and engagement. Short-term readings suggest the stock looks washed out, and buying interest appears stronger than usual. If rates settle, deposit pressures should ease. A return toward earlier price ranges over the next 3 months looks plausible, with risk set just under recent lows.
Primary drivers
- Shares fell hard recently, and buying interest now looks stronger
- Added $44.4B in new client assets in August, a strong sign of trust
- Opening more branches should bring in more clients and steady deposits
- Stable rates would ease funding costs and help earnings from client cash
