Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on June 1, 2026 — -6.3% at the close.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 43% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published March 3, 2026
Charles Schwab looks like a recovery pick: client assets are growing, the Forge Global deal adds a new business angle, and analysts lifted targets. These facts could make earnings look stronger. The stock is still settling, so buying on weakness is safer than chasing a quick jump. If interest rates calm, a rebound in a few weeks to months is possible.
Primary drivers
- More new client assets strengthen Schwab's core business and fees
- Forge deal adds private market services, expanding what Schwab can sell
- Higher analyst targets can draw attention and more buyer interest
- Stable interest rates would make the business outlook easier to value
How it played out
SCHW: target was not reached by June 1
Lyra published SCHW on March 3, 2026 at $94.72 for a short-term window through June 1, 2026. The thesis expected 15% growth. It pointed to growing client assets, the Forge Global deal, higher analyst targets, and calmer interest rates as possible support.
Inside the window, SCHW rose to a peak of $100.76 on April 15, a 6.4% gain. That stayed below the $108.93 target. The stock ended the window at $88.74. The thesis only partially played out. Price improved for a while, but it never got there and finished below the publication price.
