Charles Schwab's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 May 2000. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Charles Schwab shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Charles Schwab shares which in turn could have impacted Charles Schwab's share price.

Valuing Charles Schwab stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Charles Schwab's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Charles Schwab's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, Charles Schwab shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Charles Schwab's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1933. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Charles Schwab's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Over the last 12 months, Charles Schwab's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$44.8498 up to US$73.8765. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Charles Schwab's is 1.001. This would suggest that Charles Schwab's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 25.84% of net profits
Recently Charles Schwab has paid out, on average, around 25.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Charles Schwab shareholders could enjoy a 1.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Charles Schwab's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.
While Charles Schwab's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Charles Schwab may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Charles Schwab's most recent dividend payout was on 22 February 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
