Published on 08/26/2026 at 12:12 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Charles Schwab Corporation (US8085131050) traded around $112.43 on August 26, 2026, with a 52-week range of $83.96 to $114.53 and a market cap of $196.51 billion. The shares are sitting close to the top of that band after a second-quarter update that showed $1.62 in earnings per share and $7.07 billion in revenue.
Second-quarter numbers matter
In the latest quarterly report, revenue rose 20.9% year over year, while EPS came in $0.06 above the $1.56 consensus. Net margin was 38.79%, and return on equity reached 24.53%, which gives the earnings beat more context than the headline EPS alone.
The same update also framed the dividend story: Charles Schwab declared a quarterly payout of $0.32 per share, equal to $1.28 annualized and a 1.1% yield. The next payment is due on August 28, 2026, with the stock still trading inside a narrow range just below its 52-week peak.
Fresh buying interest
Institutional demand is part of the backdrop, with one recent filing showing a new $3.04 million position in the company during the second quarter. Another market update put institutional ownership at 84.38%, which leaves the stock firmly in the hands of large holders.
Analyst tone remains constructive, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average target of $121.17. That leaves the current quote below the consensus target while still pricing the company at 20.66 times earnings and a PEG ratio of 0.84.
What Schwab sells
Charles Schwab's core franchise spans brokerage, banking, wealth management and advisory services, with Schwab-branded mutual funds and ETFs among its best-known products. For investors, the mix of fee-based advice, trading activity and banking spread income remains the key operating model behind the quarterly figures.
Price and valuation
At $112.43 as of August 26, 2026, the stock is trading just below its 52-week high of $114.53 and well above its 52-week low of $83.96. The combination of a 20.9% revenue increase, a $1.62 EPS print and a 1.1% dividend yield keeps the valuation discussion anchored to current operating momentum.
