Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about The Charles Schwab Corporation stock:

• 1. SunTrust Banks, Inc. analysts commented, "We reiterate our Buy rating following Schwab's monthly and weekly metrics report, which featured strong client asset and DART growth. We have also increased our 2017/2018 EPS estimates to $1.60/$1.87 from $1.57/$1.81, respectively, though this mostly reflects the benefit of higher short-term interest rates as implied by the Fed Funds curve. Our $45 PT, up from $44, equals 28x 2017E EPS, which is consistent with SCHW's 5-year average (28x) and a premium to peers (20x)." (3/14/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "SCHW is forecasting revenue growth in the low double digits while maintaining a spread of roughly 200-300 bps over expense growth for an operating margin of at least 41%. Importantly, this does not assume any interest rate increase during 2017. Balance sheet growth will continue organically with bulk transfers on hold until the $250B level is eclipsed. We continue to view SCHW as favorably positioned to grow NNA and earnings at an industry leading rate." (2/3/2017)
