## Elevator Pitch

- My last bullish stance in Charles Schwab did not work out; -5.39% alpha vs. S&P 500). But my 'Sell' view in Jan. 2024 made +6.45% alpha, leading to +1.06% alpha overall.
- Now, due to more discounted valuations, I am revising my stance to a Neutral/Hold.
- Management's flagged 2024 to be a 'transitional year' in the latest earnings call. That doesn't inspire prospects of outperformance when the market is going full speed ahead.
- SCHW has been forced to rely on more expensive funding sources to replenish the reduced funding pool of clients' transactional cash balances.
- A sustained reduction in the supplemental funding sources is a key trigger for the stock, and I believe the stock will remain range-bound vs. the S&P 500 until this happens.
