Net income rose 23 percent to 2.906 billion US dollars. Diluted GAAP earnings per share increased 29 percent from 1.26 US dollars to 1.62 US dollars. Excluding 151 million US dollars in pre-tax transaction-related costs, adjusted net income reached 3.021 billion US dollars and adjusted earnings per share came to 1.69 US dollars.

Client Assets Set New Records

Core net new assets totaled 190.4 billion US dollars, an increase of 38 percent from the prior-year quarter.

The figures point to stronger client engagement, although trading-driven revenue remains sensitive to market activity and investor risk appetite.

What Investors Should Watch Next

Management highlighted continued investment in digital tools, including the Charley artificial-intelligence assistant and expanded digital-asset capabilities. The company also said it plans to offer Single Stock Futures on the thinkorswim platform and partnered with Anthropic to bring Claude for Financial Advisors to independent registered investment advisers.

Charles Schwab's next investor focus will be whether strong asset gathering translates into sustained fee growth and whether higher balances support net interest revenue as market conditions evolve. The company declared a regular quarterly dividend of 0.32 US dollars per common share on October 22, payable on November 27 to holders of record on November 13.
