The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) — closed signal from March 2, 2026
Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on May 31, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 26% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published March 2, 2026
SCHW looks positioned to bounce in the next few months after a recent drop. The completed Forge Global deal gives management a near-term project to show progress, and a major analyst restating a Buy with a $120 target can help calm selling. The main danger is broader weakness in financial stocks-so buy small near support and be ready to cut if the downtrend continues.
Primary drivers
- Forge deal finishing creates a clear near-term company event
- Analyst Buy and $120 target can reduce selling pressure on dips
- Large brokerage business can recover as investors take more risk
- Recent pullback offers a lower-risk entry if support holds
How it played out
SCHW: target was not reached by May 31
Lyra published SCHW at $96.28 on March 2 for a short-term window through May 31. The thesis expected 18% growth to $113.60. It pointed to the Forge deal finishing, an analyst Buy with a $120 target, a brokerage recovery if investors took more risk, and support after the recent pullback.
Inside the window, SCHW rose to a peak of $100.76 on April 15, a 4.7% gain. It stayed below the $113.60 target, so there was no day when the target was reached. By May 31 it ended at $87.35. The thesis partly played out on the early bounce, but it missed the target.
What happened during the window
On April 16, 2026, MarketWatch reported that Charles Schwab posted record first-quarter revenue, but revenue missed Wall Street expectations and the stock fell that day. The same report said the company opened 1.3 million new brokerage accounts during the quarter.
