GAAP earnings nearly halved to 51 cents from 97 cents per share last year. The results marked six consecutive quarters of earnings declines. Net revenue fell 19% to $4.46 billion, just short of forecasts of $4.48 billion.

Schwab reported a 29% decline in net interest revenue due to higher interest expenses while asset management and administration fees increased 18.3%. Trading revenue and bank deposit account fees both fell during the quarter.

Charles Schwab added $306 billion in core net new assets during the 2023 fiscal year, bringing total client assets to a record $8.52 trillion at year-end.

Schwab stock slumped 5.2% in early trade on the results, triggering the automatic sell rule. Schwab had brief cleared a 68.80 entry in a cup base in mid-December.
