What stands out

Michael Fairbourn walked viewers through Schwab’s sector grid and rotation charts, the sort of practical map that shows where money actually flows rather than where headlines say it should. For Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) shareholders the webcast matters because product-level moves and client behavior are the business, news later showed Schwab’s SCHD Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) up 29%, a reminder that product performance and retail flows can shift sentiment and AUM even when the brokerage’s own share price is stuck in a trading range.
