What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide ($49.63 to $148.19). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- 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.

Analysis
Charles Schwab Corp (SCHW) currently trades at $109.29, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $66.17, implying the stock looks roughly 65.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $100.99 per share, and 3 of the 13 models we run sit above the $109.29 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $19.04, and 10 of the 13 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Charles Schwab Corp 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 Aug 31, 2026
Scenario range: $49.63 (bear) to $148.19 (bull), the price of $109.29 sits inside it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 30% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −35% fair-value upside, at −39%, SCHW screens richer than that median.

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 64 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 69
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
