Charles Schwab (SCHW) is a broker-deposit name with typically modest earnings moves — but July 2023’s +14.2% peak shows rate-sensitive headlines can still blow through a tight implied band. Below is its earnings behaviour based on the last 16 reports (roughly the past 10 years), as of July 14, 2026.
SCHW earnings at a glance

Does SCHW beat its implied move?

July 2023 peaked near +14.2% against ~±5.1% implied — a massive beat. April 2026 dropped about -8.3% vs ~±3.5% implied. Broker earnings look boring until they aren’t.
IV rush and IV crush on SCHW
Implied volatility builds into the report (the IV rush) and collapses afterward (the IV crush). With a sub-50% beat rate, short-vol structures have historically faced the crush more often than long-vol structures have been saved by an outsized move — but tail events still happen.
What SCHW’s earnings data means for options
