Two 59%+ winners, four above 25% in Aug – How this AI model keeps picking winners
Investing.com - Truist Securities raised its price target on Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:SCHW) to $112.00 from $107.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the financial services company. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for the $175.59B market cap company range from $84 to $131, with 16 analysts recently revising their earnings estimates upward.
The price target increase follows Charles Schwab’s release of its July monthly data, which showed Net New Asset (NNA) growth accelerating to above 5% and reaching nearly 6% on a seasonally adjusted basis.
This growth rate represents the strongest performance in more than two years for the brokerage firm and brings NNA flows back into the company’s long-term target range of 5-7% after falling below that threshold for the past two months.
Truist Securities noted that net account growth was also robust at more than 7% on a seasonally adjusted basis, although client cash deposits decreased slightly during the period.
Charles Schwab shares rose 2-3% in early Friday trading compared to a relatively flat S&P 500, with Truist suggesting the growth narrative was driving investor sentiment despite the minor dip in client cash.
In other recent news, Charles Schwab Corporation reported record growth in core net new assets for July 2025, with an impressive $46.9 billion, marking a 62% increase compared to the same month last year. Total client assets reached $10.96 trillion, reflecting a 15% year-over-year rise. The company also opened 377,000 new brokerage accounts, a 15% increase from July 2024. Additionally, Charles Schwab’s board authorized a new $20 billion share repurchase program, replacing the previous $15 billion program, which had $6.9 billion remaining. In light of this, TD Cowen raised its price target for Charles Schwab to $129.00, maintaining a Buy rating. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods also raised their price target to $108.00, following Schwab’s adjusted earnings per share of $1.14, which surpassed expectations. Furthermore, Schwab has expanded its 24-hour trading capabilities to include over 1,100 securities, enhancing its thinkorswim platform suite. The company also declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per common share, payable on August 22.
