Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 22% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 29, 2025
Schwab looks set for a calm recovery over the next 0-3 months. Short-term price signs suggest the down move may be running out of steam, and momentum is stabilizing. Recent research (Aug 27-28) noted stronger earnings growth potential and a lower price tag than IBKR. IBKR entering the S&P 500 keeps attention on broker stocks. With optimism firm and client cash headwinds easing as rates level off, a return toward prior ranges is reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Short-term signs the stock is worn down and may be getting ready to turn up
- Looks cheaper than a close rival, which can draw in value-focused buyers
- Investors are focused on brokers now, lifting interest and confidence
- Customer cash pressure is easing as interest rates stop climbing
