The Charles Schwab Corporation
Charles Schwab holds cash and securities for individual clients and for advisers. Fidelity and others do the same trade. It is not assets already counted and it is not a minimal marginal cost by decree. The client's money is not Schwab's cash.
Part of the income is the spread on cash the client leaves. If the rate falls, or if they take the cash away, that spread falls. The management fee is another book. The client and the adviser can leave. A year of high rates is not normal earnings.
Cash separates that spread from the fee. The dividend has to fit. It is not custody that cannot be changed.
"The advantage is the account the client already has open and the adviser who already holds assets there. They can take it away. The moat narrows if the rate falls, or if the cash leaves."

Health is the firm's debt, not the client's. Quality separates the cash spread from the management fee. Growth follows balances and accounts, and they need not rise together. P/E is read against a year of high rates, not against that peak. Shareholder return is the dividend, checked against cash. Do not read it as income the rate does not move.
The P/E of a year of high rates is not the earnings if the client takes the cash away. EV/EBITDA is read without adding custodied securities as Schwab's cash. Do not use BlackRock's multiple, which charges for the fund, as if custody and the ETF fee were the same book. A dash if SCHW is missing.
Not advice on Charles Schwab. Vaultflake does not count custodied assets and does not treat the cash spread as fixed. Read the filings. A past dividend is not a right. The table is a snapshot, not a target price.
