WESTLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of The Charles Schwab Corporation at its meeting today authorized additional repurchases of the company’s common stock and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per common share. The dividend is payable August 22, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025 the Share Repurchase Program had approximately $6.9 billion of share repurchases remaining under a prior authorization.

Co-Chairman Walt Bettinger commented, “The Board’s decision regarding the Share Repurchase Program reflects Schwab’s sustained business and financial momentum as well as our continued confidence in the long-term prospects for the firm. Guided by our “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy, these actions reinforce our commitment to delivering strong growth across all fronts while further enhancing long-term stockholder value through the opportunistic return of excess capital.”
