Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on November 12, 2025 — +1.5% at the close.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 14% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 14, 2025
Schwab looks beaten down but starting to stabilize. July data showed client assets up 15% compared to last year and new accounts stay healthy. A respected fund, PRIMECAP, raised its stake by 35.9%, a strong vote of confidence. The recent average price is turning up and sentiment is firmer, so a bounce is likely as activity normalizes. One risk: a slower sign still leans negative, so buy in small steps on dips.
Primary drivers
- Client assets rose 15% compared to last year, showing solid growth
- Shares look beaten down, setting up for a potential near-term rebound
- PRIMECAP increased its stake, signaling confidence from a major investor
- Recent average price is turning up as market conditions calm down
