Summary

Schwab delivered a standout second quarter with record revenue of $7.1 billion, up 21% year-over-year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.62. The results reflect firing on all cylinders: core net new assets of $119.8 billion (up 49% YoY) drove total client assets to $13.08 trillion, while record trading volume of 11.9 million daily trades and a 30% quarter-over-quarter surge in margin balances to $165.1 billion underscore intense client engagement. Net interest margin expanded 12 basis points to 3.00% as sweep cash balances grew $24.2 billion to $485.7 billion, supporting 19% growth in net interest revenue.

For retail holders, the combination of robust organic growth (June's $62.7 billion in net new assets represents a 5.8% annualized rate), margin expansion, and strong capital ratios (8.7% Tier 1 Leverage) demonstrates Schwab's ability to capitalize on market conditions while maintaining financial strength. The firm returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through buybacks while optimizing its capital structure with preferred stock transactions. The breadth of the performance—across asset gathering, trading, interest income, and client account growth to 48.0 million—positions Schwab well as a diversified beneficiary of sustained client activity and market engagement.
