Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 40% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published April 8, 2026
Schwab looks well positioned now because its business trends, new product rollout, and a reasonable chart line up. Announcements about direct crypto trading and a positive note from Truist give immediate reasons to watch for more client activity. The stock is not overly stretched, so there is room for gains if trading and asset flows remain steady.
Primary drivers
- More client trading and asset gathering helps profits
- Direct crypto access should boost client engagement
- Truist's update signals healthy new asset flows
- Price action is reasonable compared with growth peers
How it played out
SCHW: rose 6.4%, but the target was not reached
Lyra published a short-term thesis at $96.33, with 16% expected growth and a $111.74 target. The thesis pointed to higher client trading and asset gathering, direct crypto access, Truist's view of new asset flows, and price action that left room for gains if trading and flows stayed steady.
Inside the window, SCHW rose as high as $102.54 on July 7, a peak gain of 6.4%. It never reached the $111.74 target. The stock ended at $101.93, below its peak but above the publication price. The thesis partially played out because the shares rose, but the expected gain and target were missed.
What happened during the window
On April 16, Schwab reported first-quarter revenue of $6.5 billion, up 16% year over year. That day, it also announced a phased rollout of direct bitcoin and ethereum trading for retail clients.
