SCHW Earnings History: 87.5% Beat Rate and What the Odds Say for April 16

Charles Schwab reports next on April 16, 2026. Sixteen quarters of earnings data give a clear picture of how this stock behaves around its reports. The patterns are consistent enough to know before you trade.

The Beat Rate

SCHW has beaten analyst estimates in 14 out of 16 quarters. That is an 87.5% beat rate. For a large-cap financial stock, that level of consistency is not a coincidence.

What Happens After a Beat

When SCHW beats, the stock closes higher the next day 64.3% of the time. The average next-day move after a beat is 0.07%. The market absorbs positive surprises from Schwab without large price swings.

The Pattern

Three things stand out in the SCHW earnings history. The company beats far more often than it misses, running a near-perfect track record over four years of data. After a miss, the stock has not closed lower the next day in any tracked quarter, putting the post-miss down rate at 0.0%. And regardless of the outcome, the magnitude of the move stays compressed.

What This Means for Traders

First, an 87.5% SCHW earnings beat rate is a strong historical lean going into April 16. Second, even when Schwab beats, the average move is only 0.07%, meaning options strategies that need a large directional move face real premium decay risk. Third, the 0.0% down rate after a miss is an unusual data point that reframes any thesis on downside hedges. All of these numbers come directly from ChartOdds historical earnings data.
