04:15 PM EDT, 05/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We increase our target by $6 to $102, 20.0x our 2026 EPS estimate, a wider risk premium than the peer average (17.4x) on strong asset growth and a compelling earnings growth profile. We keep our 2025 EPS view at $4.30 and 2026's at $5.10, with both years delivering double-digit gains. Our revenue forecasts are $22.64B (+15%) in 2025 and $25.18B (+11%) in 2026. SCHW's April metrics demonstrated resilience despite an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, with total client assets of $9.89T, up 12% Y/Y (flat vs. March 2025); new brokerage accounts of 439,000, up 22% Y/Y (+13%); and daily average trades of 8.36M, up 46% Y/Y (+14%). We view SCHW's shareholder return strategy favorable, highlighted by the opportunistic $1.5B share repurchase in Q1. With $7.2B remaining under the current authorization, the company retains ample capacity to continue returning capital to shareholders though the remainder of 2025. SCHW should benefit from increased client engagement, higher trading volumes, and asset growth.
