Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 58% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 3, 2025
Schwab looks beaten down but starting to recover, and investor mood is improving. The company just set a record $10.76T in client assets, and a major bank named it a top pick for the quarter. As interest rate paths become clearer, earnings from client cash could improve. Main risks: income tied to rates and choppy trading levels. We favor buying in steps and knowing your exit.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out but starting to turn higher as buyers slowly return again
- All-time high client assets signal strong trust and a resilient business
- Named a top pick by a major bank, likely drawing fresh interest from investors
- Clearer interest rates could lift income from client cash and brokerage
How it played out
SCHW: thesis partly played out but target was missed
Lyra published SCHW on 2025-10-03 at 93.59. The thesis expected 16% growth and pointed to a washed-out price starting to recover, record client assets of $10.76T, a top-pick call from a major bank, and clearer interest rates that could help income from client cash. It also cited rate-linked income and choppy trading as risks.
Inside the window, SCHW rose but never reached 108.26. The peak was 102.28 on 2025-12-26, a 9.3% gain. It ended the window at 99.91. The published direction partly worked, but the target was missed.
