Schwab Trading Activity Index™: STAX Score Drops in April as Retail Clients Cut Tech ExposureMay 4, 2026 12:30 PM
Business Wire
Second consecutive month-over-month decline is the largest in a year despite major indexes rebounding


The Schwab Trading Activity Index™ (STAX) decreased to 50.10 in April, down from its score of 56.04 in March. The only index of its kind, the STAX is a proprietary, behavior-based index that analyzes retail investor stock positions and trading activity from Schwab’s millions of client accounts to illuminate what investors were actually doing and how they were positioned in the markets each month.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260504816030/en/
“Retail clients turned more cautious in April, leading to a second consecutive month-over-month decline in the STAX score, which fell by the biggest margin we’ve seen in a year,” said Joe Mazzola, Head Trading and Derivatives Strategist at Charles Schwab. “Each April, we tend to see clients selling in advance of Tax Day and reinvesting afterward. This year, though, we also observed a meaningful rotation out of higher-beta individual holdings and into broad-based lower-beta ETFs, which not only led to a drop in the score but appears to indicate a meaningful dip in sentiment.”


Major indexes rebounded through most of the month amid high oil prices and ongoing Middle East tensions, with a ceasefire announcement easing near-term concerns. A powerful chip rally also took hold as the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) rose 47% over the STAX period, including an 18-session winning streak.


The March jobs report showed better-than-expected payroll growth of 178,000. Retail sales and inflation data stayed above the Fed’s 2% goal, but roughly in line with expectations, reducing perceived odds of an interest rate hike and improving expectations for at least one rate cut later this year. Inflation concerns eased modestly as crude stabilized despite persistent worries about slowing growth.


Clients were net sellers in nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors, buying only Consumer Staples and Utilities—both of which are traditionally considered defensive. After Information Technology, the heaviest net selling was in Consumer Discretionary, followed by Financials and Energy. Notably, many Schwab clients shifted toward diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in April; five of the month’s 10 most net-bought names were ETFs.


From a demographic perspective, market exposure fell across all age groups in April. Generation X (1965-1980) maintained the highest exposure to the markets, followed by Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Millennials (1981-1996) and finally Generation Z (1997-2012), which hit lows last seen in September of last year.


Sentiment also appeared to fall sharpest among the STAX sample’s most active traders, whose market exposure hit their lowest levels since December.


Popular names bought by all Schwab clients during the period included:



Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)



Tesla Inc. (TSLA)



Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR)



Micron Technology Inc. (MU)



Netflix Inc. (NFLX)



Names net sold by Schwab clients during the period included:



NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA)



Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)



Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD)



Intel Corp. (INTC)



Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)



About the STAX


The STAX value is calculated based on a complex proprietary formula. Each month, Schwab pulls a sample from its client base of millions of funded accounts, which includes accounts that completed a trade in the past month. The holdings and positions of this statistically significant sample are evaluated to calculate individual scores, and the median of those scores represents the monthly STAX.


For more information on the Schwab Trading Activity Index, please visit www.schwab.com/investment-research/stax. Additionally, Schwab clients can chart the STAX using the symbol $STAX in either the thinkorswim® or thinkorswim Mobile platforms.

Schwab Marks Second Annual National Investing Day with Industry and Community PartnersMay 1, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Charles Schwab Foundation commits more than $20 million supporting youth financial education over the next three years


Charles Schwab today kicked off the second annual National Investing Day, bringing together organizations from the financial industry and nonprofit community to participate in the day dedicated to investor education and empowerment.


National Investing Day is grounded in a simple idea: while millions of Americans participate in the markets, many still lack the confidence or resources to see themselves as investors. Expanding access to credible, early education remains a critical step in closing that gap. Now in its second year, National Investing Day is building momentum as a shared moment to highlight the power of investing and encourages people to dedicate at least one day in the year to explore how they can get invested and stay invested to help build a strong financial future.


Today’s observance includes an event at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where teens from the New York area involved with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game™ will take part in a hands-on learning experience tied to real-world markets. Charles Schwab and students from each organization will ring the closing bell today.


“National Investing Day is about celebrating the power of investing,” said Rick Wurster, president and chief executive officer at Charles Schwab. “When people have access to educational tools and resources that help them learn about investing, they’ll build confidence and are more likely to stay invested over the long term. Young people, in particular, want to invest and need education and guidance. We are proud to engage them in a thoughtful way and provide support to get their education off to a good start.”


New data highlights increasing engagement and the need for financial literacy—particularly among younger investors—reinforcing the importance of early exposure to investing concepts and tools. According to a recent Schwab survey*:



70% of teens are very or extremely interested in investing.



Teens see investing as both a financial and educational opportunity. Top motivations for teens to start investing include:


To get more money (45%)



Paying for college (34%)



Learning how money works (33%)



Learning how investments work (33%)






Among surveyed parents of teens, 73% believe it is very important for teens to learn about investing.



Parents’ reasons for wanting teens to learn about investing include:


Teaching financial responsibility (69%)



Giving them a financial head start (65%)



Ensuring they learn important financial concepts like growing wealth over time (64%)






This year’s effort is supported by partners including the SIFMA Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which work year-round to build young people’s financial knowledge and provide real-world investing experience. Through Schwab’s 20-year partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, tweens and teens nationwide receive high-quality financial education through the Money Matters program.


As part of National Investing Day, Schwab is expanding access to hands-on investing education for young people nationwide through a new multi-million-dollar investment from the Charles Schwab Foundation. This effort brings together the SIFMA Foundation’s investing education expertise and Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s reach and dedication to empowering youth by integrating the Stock Market Game into its Money Matters curriculum. Through these and other leading nonprofits, Charles Schwab Foundation has committed more than $20 million to support youth financial education over the next three years.


“For many young people, investing can feel out of reach, something meant for someone else, much later in life,” said Jim Clark, President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “Hands-on learning experiences open doors to opportunity by building knowledge, growing real-world skills, and helping kids see what’s possible for their future. National Investing Day is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we meet young people where they are and give them the tools to learn, practice, and succeed.”


Inspired by Founder and Co-Chairman, Charles (Chuck) Schwab, National Investing Day coincides with the 50th anniversary of May 1, 1975, the day the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated fixed commission rates -- a watershed moment in financial services that came to be known as May Day. As many traditional wire house firms chose to raise commission fees, Chuck Schwab lowered them to help bring the power of investing to more people.


“Helping more people get invested and stay invested so they can become better off in their financial lives is at the heart of everything we do,” said Wurster. “Whether you are just starting out with your first financial plan or you’ve been invested for years, National Investing Day is for the investor in us all.”


Editor’s Note: National Investing Day is a great time to learn and start conversations about saving, investing, and long-term goals. Investing looks different for everyone. Start with one small step today—such as learning about investing, reviewing your plan, or increasing a contribution—and build over time. Here are ways to participate:


New investors or investor education:



Engage with Schwab’s free financial education content.



If you are an educator, learn about Invest it Forward, which connects volunteer financial professionals with teachers.



Talk with friends or family members to learn from each other about investing.



Create a financial plan.



Contribute to your 401k plan. Take advantage of your employer’s match if it’s available.



Once you have a plan, consider making an investment or executing your first trade.



Moderately experienced investors:



Schedule a check-in with your financial consultant or advisor.



Commit to learning more about new-to-you strategies.



Consider how Schwab’s seven investing principles can help guide you throughout market cycles.



Seasoned investors:



Pay it forward by introducing kids to the principles of investing with age-appropriate resources.



Remind older parents or family members to regularly check their accounts.



Create or join a forum or investing club in your community.

Seventy percent of teens say they are highly interested in investing, according to Schwab research


Investing is now a family matter with teens looking to invest directly and their parents wanting them to start out the right way, according to the 2026 Schwab Teen Investing Survey. According to new data released today, seven in 10 teenagers (70%), ages 13-17, say they are very or extremely interested in investing and nearly three-quarters (73%) of parents say it is very important for teens to learn about investing.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260428924357/en/Parents and teens agree on a lot when it comes to investing, but there are some areas of difference.
The research also shows that teens cite parents more than any other source for trusted investing advice (56%), and about a quarter (27%) want their parents to be heavily involved in their investing experience. That trust extends across a range of financial topics: teens say they trust their parents “a lot” when it comes to saving money (62%), being financially responsible (58%), earning money (58%), and explaining financial concepts (51%).


“Investing has never been more accessible, and we’re seeing people start earlier than ever. But when investors get started is when education matters most—especially now given the volume of information available, the range of products to evaluate, and the increasingly blurred boundary between investing and gambling. Our goal is to help young investors cut through the noise with the education and support they need to build strong habits from the start,” said Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab.


Motivations


Teens point to a range of motivations for their interest, from wanting to start building their money as early as possible (45%) to investing toward specific goals like paying for college (34%). Parents are on the same page: they believe investing can help teach financial responsibility (69%), give teens a financial head start (65%), teach important financial concepts (64%), and help avoid financial mistakes in the future (52%).

Getting a Head Start


Parents want their kids to get an earlier start with investing than they did. Most parents didn't become aware of investing until they were young adults or older (68%), and half (51%) wish they had started investing earlier. Meanwhile, today’s teens are already ahead of the curve: most say they became aware of investing during their pre-teen (44%) or teenage years (37%). Forty-two percent of teens say they first learned about investing from their parents or legal guardians, compared with 30% of parents who say the same about their own experience.

Both groups agree on the importance of financial education in schools. Sixty-five percent of parents and 50% of teens consider it among the top three most important subjects.

A Lot to Learn


Teens are candid about the gaps in their investing knowledge. Only 14% say they know a lot about investing, though 95% describe themselves as at least somewhat interested in learning more. Their top concerns about getting started include losing money because of a bad investment (59%), not knowing what to do when investing (42%), and feeling stress over how their investments might perform (41%).


When it comes to what they do know, teens point to stocks (50%) as the investment type they feel most familiar with. Half (50%) believe investing requires more skill than luck to make money, while 25% aren't sure.

A Lot to Teach


About half of parents (46%) say they are very comfortable teaching their teens about investing, though most acknowledge that it’s no easy task. Sixty-two percent say teaching their kids how to invest is harder than teaching them how to drive a car. Fortunately, it’s an effort that has multifaceted benefits: just over half of teens (53%) view investing as a way to bond with their parents.


Many parents are encouraged by what they see in their teens. About half (48%) describe their teens as responsible, and many feel their teens are already outpacing where they were at the same age when it comes to saving money (48%), interest in wanting to invest (39%), understanding basic financial concepts (37%), and interest in learning more about investing (35%).

Where Parents and Teens Agree, and Where They Don’t


Parents and teens agree on a lot when it comes to teen investing, but there are some areas of difference. Both groups agree that the most likely source of money for teens to invest will come from a job (teens: 53%, parents: 68%). And losing money is the top concern for both (teens: 59%, parents: 36%), though parents are less concerned overall. When it comes to investment approach, most parents (61%) prefer investments that have the potential to grow over time and are less likely to lose money quickly — and their teens agree, with 60% saying the same.


Where they diverge is the question of parental involvement. Fifty percent of parents want to be heavily involved in deciding how much money goes into investments, and 52% want to be informed on their teens’ portfolio performance. Most teens, meanwhile, prefer a lighter touch: 60% say they would want their parents to be only somewhat involved, and 64% would want their parents to have only a little control over their investment decisions.


Schwab Empowers Young Investors


To empower more teens to reap the benefits of starting to invest early, Schwab recently debuted the Schwab Teen Investor™ account, a joint brokerage account for young people ages 13 to 17 and their parent or legal guardian. The Schwab Teen Investor account lets teens invest directly and offers age-appropriate education and guardrails. Both parents and teens can monitor the account, trade, and move money in and out. The account provides hands-on experience with Schwab's mobile app, Schwab.com, and the thinkorswim® trading platform—along with access to 24/7 support from Schwab professionals.

Charles Schwab Announces Details of Spot Crypto Trading LaunchApril 16, 2026 9:33 AM
Business Wire
Retail clients will have access to Schwab Crypto™ alongside the research, education, service and comprehensive investing, trading, wealth, and banking offers they already enjoy at Schwab


Charles Schwab today announced Schwab Crypto™, a spot crypto trading offer that will begin a phased rollout to retail clients in the coming weeks. Schwab Crypto will provide direct access to bitcoin and ethereum trading, combined with educational content and experienced professional support all at a great value.


In a recent Schwab survey* of nearly 500 current and prospective cryptocurrency investors, respondents identified three key factors when choosing a firm for cryptocurrency trading: low, transparent pricing; brand familiarity and reputation; and confidence that assets will be kept secure.


“We know our clients want to conduct more of their financial lives at Schwab,” said Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab. “With Schwab Crypto, clients who want direct access to the asset class can trade it alongside their other investments, while benefiting from the service, education, and research they expect from us.”


A holistic crypto investing experience


At launch, Schwab Crypto will include:



Direct trading in bitcoin and ethereum, two of the most well-known and established cryptocurrencies, which together represent approximately three-quarters of the crypto market capitalization.



In-depth digital assets education and resources, including insights and commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research and crypto-focused content through Schwab Coaching®, to help investors understand the digital assets market and how digital assets fit into a broader investing strategy.



The ability to view and trade cryptocurrency and traditional investments side-by-side across Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim®, Schwab’s award-winning trading platform.



Access to Schwab’s award-winning 24/7 support from thousands of tenured service professionals by phone or chat.



Pricing among the lowest in the industry at 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade.



Over time, Schwab plans to add additional cryptocurrencies to the platform, as well as transfer capabilities for both deposits and withdrawals, allowing clients with existing digital asset investments to bring them to Schwab alongside their other investments.


“With Schwab Crypto, investors can access familiar cryptocurrencies within an all-in-one investing and banking experience, backed by an ecosystem of education, tools, resources, and support so they can make informed decisions about how crypto might fit into their broader investing goals,” said Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab.


“Whether you’re new to crypto and looking for a firm you know and trust, or you already own digital assets, our goal is to be the destination of choice for retail investors who want to incorporate digital assets into their portfolios with confidence,” he added.


How Schwab Crypto works


Schwab clients will maintain a separate crypto account through Schwab Crypto, offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB, (“CSPB”), linked directly to their brokerage accounts. CSPB will serve as the custodian of clients’ digital assets, responsible for safekeeping and record-keeping.


Paxos, a leading OCC-regulated blockchain infrastructure provider, will deliver sub-custody and trade execution services. Utilizing a federally overseen trust model and proven enterprise-grade technology, Paxos enables the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions to bring digital asset solutions to their customers.


"Paxos is a strong partner for blockchain infrastructure. Their regulatory standing and digital asset expertise will help us deliver the seamless, integrated experience our clients expect from Schwab," said Vietri.


Schwab is already a leader in digital assets, with clients holding approximately 20% of spot crypto exchange-traded products. The introduction of spot crypto trading builds on the many ways Schwab clients can already access digital asset investments including spot cryptocurrency Exchange-traded products (ETPs), crypto futures, options on spot crypto ETPs, crypto-related ETFs and mutual funds that invest in the broader digital asset ecosystem.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, average balances of client margin loans and short credits related to certain client long/short strategies from which the Company earns a fixed net yield are excluded from interest-earning assets and funding sources. Prior period amounts and average yields have been reclassified and recalculated to reflect this change. Average margin loans related to these client strategies totaled $14.1 billion and $235 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Average short credits related to these client strategies totaled $14.4 billion and $237 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest revenue and expense related to these client strategies are presented in other interest revenue and other interest expense, respectively.








(2)







Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost.

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Schwab’s first quarter earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.


Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.




Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure






Definition






Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management








Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs






Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.




 




Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives.






We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.




 




Costs related to acquisition and integration or restructuring fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions, integration and restructuring activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.








Return on tangible common equity






Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets — net, and related deferred tax liabilities.






Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.








Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio






Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), adjusted to reflect the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the ratio.






Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels.







The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria. Additionally, the Company uses adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio in managing capital, including its use of the measure as its long-term operating objective.
