WESTLAKE, Texas, June 08, 2026--The Schwab Trading Activity Index™ (STAX) increased to 55.08 in May, up from its score of 50.10 in April. The only index of its kind, the STAX is a proprietary, behavior-based index that analyzes retail investor stock positions and trading activity from Schwab’s millions of client accounts to illuminate what investors were actually doing and how they were positioned in the markets each month.

Ross Stores, TE Connectivity, Cenovus Energy, Globe Life and Charles Schwab stand out for high ROE as investors navigate volatile markets.

The consensus price target hints at a 29.4% upside potential for Charles Schwab (SCHW). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.
