The Charles Schwab Corporation's stock plummeted 9.4% following a disappointing first-quarter 2022 earnings report, showing adjusted earnings of $0.77 per share and total revenues of $4.67 billion—both falling short of analysts' expectations. Trading revenues declined 21% year over year, largely due to increased market volatility impacting income. Despite these setbacks, Schwab reported an 11% rise in total client assets to $7.86 trillion, driven by $120.5 billion in net new assets and the addition of 1.2 million new brokerage accounts.
