Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 14% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 22, 2025
Schwab looks heavily sold off, which often leads to a short-term rebound. Investor interest and new money remain solid, with net new assets up 17% from last month. If the Fed cuts rates, pressure on interest income should ease and margins can normalize. That makes a move back toward typical recent prices reasonable. Plan is to buy gradually on dips as momentum steadies and the trend starts improving.
Primary drivers
- The stock looks very oversold, suggesting many sellers may be finished
- Net new assets rose 17% from last month, signaling healthy new money
- If the Fed cuts rates, investors may value earnings more generously
- Add if momentum steadies and price moves above its recent average
How it played out
SCHW: the target was not reached
Lyra published SCHW at 96.02 on 2025-08-22 with a short-term thesis for 16% expected growth toward 111.06. The thesis pointed to an oversold stock, net new assets up 17% from last month, possible rate-cut relief for interest income, and a plan to add only if momentum steadied.
Inside the window, SCHW peaked at 98.22 on 2025-11-12, a 2.3% gain. It stayed below the target. By 2025-11-20, it ended at 90.49. The thesis only partly played out on price, with a small rebound but no target reach.
