“Shares of financial services provider The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) also traded higher following the delivery of a top and bottom-line earnings beat, an increase in its quarterly dividend and the announcement of a significant stock repurchase program. We believe the company will continue to weather various macro and competitive pressures in a rising rate environment by flexing its scale and customer-centric focus in support of its industry leading cost advantage. We also think the TD Ameritrade acquisition will create incremental value and further enhance SCHW’s marketplace standing and long-term growth trajectory.”
