Have you been eager to see how The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW - Free Report) performed in Q3 in comparison with the market expectations? Let’s quickly scan through the key facts from this San Francisco-based brokerage company’s earnings release this morning:
An Earnings Beat
Schwab came out with adjusted earnings per share of 34 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents.
A rise in revenues lead to earnings beat.
How Was the Estimate Revision Trend?
You should note that the earnings estimate revisions for Schwab depicted a neutral stance prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained stable at 33 cents per share over the last 7 days.
Further, Schwab has delivered positive surprises in one of the prior four trailing quarters. Overall, the company has a positive earnings surprise of 1% in the trailing four quarters.
Schwab posted net revenues of $1.91 billion, which outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.88 billion. Also, it compared favorably with the year-ago number of $1.60 billion.
Key Statistics:
A steady focus on serving investor needs has helped Schwab’s business grow to $2.73 trillion in client assets as of Sep 30, 2016. The company gathered $30 billion of core net new assets in the third quarter 2016.
What Zacks Rank Says
The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for Schwab. However, since the latest earnings performance is yet to be reflected in the estimate revisions, the rank is subject to change. While things apparently look favorable, it all depends on what sense the just-released report makes to the analysts.
Following the earnings release, Schwab shares were up nearly 1% in the pre-trading session. This is in line with what the stock witnessed in the prior-day’s session. Clearly, the initial reaction shows that the investors have considered the results in their favor. However, the full-session’s price movement may indicate a different picture.
