Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW) climbed to a 52-week high of $92.81, marking a key milestone for the financial services giant with a market capitalization of $168.6 billion. The stock has gained 25.56% year-to-date, driven by a 10.86% uptick in revenue and consistent long-term performance, including 37 straight years of dividend payouts — a testament to investor confidence and operational resilience.
The momentum comes as Schwab continues to post strong growth in client assets and new accounts. In May 2025, the company reported a record $35 billion in core net new assets — a 13% year-over-year increase — bringing total client assets to an impressive $10.35 trillion, up 12% from the prior year. New brokerage accounts also surged, with 336,000 opened during the month, representing a 7% rise from May 2024.
Analysts are responding positively to these developments. Raymond James recently raised its price target on Schwab to $99 with an Outperform rating, citing robust asset inflows and healthy account expansion. Truist Securities followed suit, boosting its target to $100 and pointing to the company’s strong fundamentals, even amid some softening in trading volumes. Redburn-Atlantic also upgraded the stock, shifting from Sell to Neutral and raising the target to $82, noting reduced concerns over cash sweep dynamics.
Additionally, Schwab continues to exceed regulatory capital standards. Following the Federal Reserve’s 2025 stress test, the firm’s stress capital buffer will remain at the minimum 2.5%, supported by a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio well above required thresholds.
With 37.4 million active brokerage accounts and 5.6 million workplace retirement participants, Charles Schwab remains a dominant player in retail investing — and its latest market high underscores both investor optimism and the firm’s strong strategic positioning.
