Charles Schwab - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months.

Charles Schwab

The Charles Schwab Co. has a strong institutional backing, with 84.38% of its stock owned by institutional investors and hedge funds, indicating confidence in the company's future performance.

The current stock price is around $81.69, which is below some analysts' target prices, suggesting that there may be room for growth in the near term.

Charles Schwab
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Charles Schwab Co. for these reasons:

Despite the positive outlook from analysts, one investment analyst has issued a sell rating, indicating potential concerns about the stock's performance.
The payout ratio of 39.06% suggests that a significant portion of earnings is being distributed as dividends, which could limit the company's ability to reinvest in growth opportunities.
Recent insider sales, while not alarming, could signal that insiders are taking profits, which may raise questions about their confidence in the company's future performance.
The financial services sector can be highly volatile, and any economic downturn could adversely affect The Charles Schwab Co.'s business operations and stock performance.
With a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy," there may be a lack of overwhelming bullish sentiment among analysts, which could indicate caution among investors.
