Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on February 12, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 77% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 14, 2025
Schwab shows solid progress and looks suitable for a 3-month buy idea. In October it brought in a record $44.4B in new client money, which is 80% higher than last year, showing strong customer interest. A reported deal with Forge Global could let clients access more private investments. The trend is improving, so buying small pullbacks and adding if strength continues makes sense while activity stays healthy.
Primary drivers
- October brought a record $44.4B in new assets, up 80% vs last year
- Price trend looks healthier, with more buyers stepping in lately
- Planned Forge Global tie-up could open easier access to private assets
- Active clients keep moving money to Schwab, supporting steady activity
How it played out
SCHW: thesis partly played out but missed the target
Lyra published SCHW on 2025-11-14 at $95 with expected growth of 17% toward $111.15. The thesis pointed to a record $44.4B in new client money in October, up 80% from last year, a healthier price trend, steady client activity, and a planned Forge Global tie-up that could broaden access to private investments.
