Fair value as of: Jul 16, 2026
From 26 valuation models · updated 22 days ago
Share price +5.6% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 63% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($49.73). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (69/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart

Analysis
The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) currently trades at $107.66, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $39.79, implying the stock looks roughly 63.0% overvalued today. We read business quality at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, The Charles Schwab Corporation generated revenue of $24.8B at a net margin of 38.0%. Revenue grew 15.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $15.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $29.84 (bear case) to $49.73 (bull case); at $107.66, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 28% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at -63%, SCHW screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($49.06) versus Asset-Based ($7.44). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
