Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 27% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 21, 2025
Schwab's stock looks beaten down even while its business trends improve. Q2 sales rose 24.8%, and customers added 17% more new assets than last month, showing strong money coming in. Over the next 0-3 months, consider buying in small steps on dips and add if buying interest firms up as rate swings calm. Note that profits tied to interest and client trading can still make the stock move.

- Q2 sales rose 24.8% from last year, a clear sign of improving business health
