Charles Schwab Discloses Results of the Federal Reserve?s 2026 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review

WESTLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) (CSC or Schwab) announced today that it has received the results of the Federal Reserve?s 2026 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR). These results included the Federal Reserve?s estimate of Schwab?s minimum capital ratios under the supervisory severely adverse scenario for the nine-quarter horizon beginning December 31, 2025 and ending March 31, 2028. Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve voted to maintain the current stress capital buffer requirements until 2027. Therefore, Schwab?s stress capital buffer (SCB) remains at the 2.5% minimum.

Schwab?s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 26.3% as of March 31, 2026 was well in excess of the regulatory minimum of 4.5% combined with the SCB of 2.5% due to the relatively low risk nature of our balance sheet assets.

Schwab ended the first quarter of 2026 with a consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.9%, down from 9.3% at year-end 2025.

CFO Mike Verdeschi commented, ?Our CCAR results highlight the strength of Schwab?s capital position and diversified business model. Our principles-based approach to managing the balance sheet establishes a foundation of safety and soundness from which we support our clients? evolving needs across different environments and deliver profitable growth through-the-cycle.?
