Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on February 14, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 77% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 16, 2025
Schwab looks set for a gentle move up because price momentum has turned positive and the business trends back it up. October brought $44.4B of new client money, and S&P raised its outlook to positive after Schwab improved how it handles interest-rate risks. As clients move idle cash back into the market and trading normalizes, profits can grow faster. In a healthy market, we expect a steady climb over the next 0-3 months from dip buys.
Primary drivers
- Upward price momentum looks solid, with more buyers than usual lately
- October saw the most new client money on record, a strong vote of trust
- S&P raised its view to positive, reflecting better interest-rate risk control
- Clients are moving cash back into markets, with trading activity picking up
How it played out
SCHW: target stayed out of reach
Lyra published SCHW at $94.39 on 2025-11-16 with an 18% expected gain over a short-term window. The thesis pointed to positive price momentum, $44.4B of new client money in October, a positive S&P outlook, better interest-rate risk control, clients moving cash back into markets, and trading activity picking up.
Inside the window, SCHW rose to $107.49 on 2026-02-10, a 13.9% peak gain. That was below the $111.38 target, so it never got there. By 2026-02-14, it ended at $93.72. The thesis partly played out, but the full target was missed.
