Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SCHW receives a 5-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SCHW has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+49.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 31.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+6.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SCHW's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $8.8B (31.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is SCHW's strongest growth driver at +327.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+49.0%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+6.4%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 85.6% and approximately 94.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 6.21% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
SCHW generates approximately $864 of gross profit, $414 of operating income, and $317 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.75%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SCHW has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
