Celebrating 30 Years as a Publicly Traded Company!

This month we look back to September 1987 when The Charles Schwab Corporation completed its initial public offering. It was the first time an issuer had been a distributor of its own IPO (through a wholly owned subsidiary), and eight million shares sold at $16.50 for a market capitalization of $132 million. To see how far we’ve come since then, check out our current stock activity below, and visit our history page for a comprehensive list of milestones that span decades of advocacy and innovation on behalf of individual investors and the advisors and employers who serve them.
