Why Is Charles Schwab Plunging on Monday? (Motley Fool)

Many stocks in the financial sector were plunging on Monday in the aftermath of the collapse of SVB Financial (SIVB -60.41%) late last week.

And it also assured investors that it has plenty of liquidity and that there is "very little chance" it will need to sell any held-to-maturity securities prior to their maturity dates, unlike SVB. Schwab has $7.38 trillion in client assets and is (for good reason) mostly thought of as a brokerage firm. [NYSE: SCHW](/quote/nyse/schw/)

Charles Schwab shares drop 11%, but rally off lows as firm defends ... (CNBC)

Schwab defended its financial position, reiterating that it has plenty of access to liquidity and a low loan-to-deposit ratio.

[First Republic Bank](https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/FRC/) saw a more severe sell-off on Monday, down more than 70%, after it said Sunday it had received additional liquidity from the Federal Reserve and [JPMorgan Chase](https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/JPM/). Because of its retail brokerage deposit model with ample liquidity, some Wall Street analysts think it won't face a run like SVB did. "Focusing attention on unrealized losses within HTM (Held-to-Maturity portfolio) has two logical flaws," Schwab said. The fear is that these firms, like Silicon Valley Bank, would need to sell these holdings early at large losses in order to cover deposit withdrawals. Schwab was taking hits along with other financial firms with massive bond holdings of longer maturities. The stock was at one point on track for its worst one-day sell-off ever.

Charles Schwab stock looks like a tempting buy with no significant risk that depositors will flee, Citi analysts said early Monday.

Charles Schwab stock looks like a tempting buy with no significant risk that depositors will flee, Citi analysts said early Monday.\n\nAnalysts Christopher Allen and Alessandro Balbo from Citi raised their rating on the bank's stock to Buy from Hold as investors consider the fallout from the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The highest valuation the discount broker has recorded in the past five years is a P/E ratio of 37.4 times.\n\nThe discount comes as investors consider whether other banks could fall following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last week and the closure of New York-based Signature Bank late on Sunday. Regulators guaranteed all deposits of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature, after a sale of securities and attempt to raise capital by SVB, a lender to startups, raised concern about its financial health, triggering a classic bank run.\n\nBut Charles Schwab doesn't face a risk of customers pulling out their money en masse, the Citi analysts said, pointing to the composition of its deposit base of $366.7 billion as of the end of 2022.

Accordingly, we believe Crawford intends to impress upon investors that the company's approach is more conservative.
