[144/A] The Charles Schwab Corporation SEC Filing
The filing is a Form 144/A notice indicating that insider Richard Wurster intends to sell up to 20,500 common shares of The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) through broker Charles Schwab Corp. on or after 29 Jul 2025. At the stated aggregate market value of $2.03 million, the proposed sale equals roughly 0.001 % of the 1.82 billion shares outstanding, making it immaterial to the float.
The shares were acquired as RSUs between 25 Oct 2022 and 1 Mar 2024. The filer previously sold 15,345 shares on 9 May 2025 for $1.29 million. No undisclosed adverse information is asserted in the certification statement.
Form 144 filings signal possible insider sales but are not binding; actual transactions may depend on Rule 10b5-1 plans and market conditions. Given the limited size, the filing is unlikely to affect SCHW’s valuation, though continued selling by senior insiders can influence sentiment.
- None.
- Continued insider selling: Wurster plans to sell 20,500 shares ($2.03 M) after unloading 15,345 shares in May, which may weigh on sentiment even if immaterial in size.
Insights
TL;DR: Small insider Form 144; negligible float impact; sentiment mildly negative but fundamentally neutral.
The notice covers a potential $2.03 M sale—just 0.001 % of SCHW shares outstanding—by executive Richard Wurster. Prior 3-month sales total another $1.29 M, suggesting a pattern but still quantitatively immaterial. Because Form 144s are merely advance notices, execution risk remains. Such activity can hint at insider views on valuation yet does not signal operational weakness. No financial metrics or guidance are affected, so the disclosure is best viewed as neutral for valuation, with slight sentiment risk if insider selling accelerates.
