PQUS · Exit · 1d
Pictet Asset Management's PQUS, employing an AI ranking system for its approximately 165 US large-cap holdings, removed Charles Schwab from its portfolio on June 26, 2026, during a periodic rebalance. This action suggests the AI-driven methodology, which incorporates sector-balance and concentration rules, determined SCHW no longer met its selection thresholds for continued inclusion. Specifically, SCHW's recent price weakness, evidenced by a -3.9% return over the prior 90 days and trading at 83% of its 52-week high, likely lowered its AI ranking relative to other US large-cap financials. Despite a solid 19.08% ROE, the measured turnover style of this newer fund (launched 2025) means the AI systematically swaps out positions that dip in rank, optimizing the overall portfolio.

QRFT · Exit · 1d
CHARLES SCHWAB CORP (SCHW) presented a PER of 16.14 and a PBR of 3.59, coupled with 19.08% ROE and 8.11% Revenue Growth, metrics that could initially align with QRFT's broad large-cap core style focusing on value, quality, and momentum factors. The Qraft AI manager, executing weekly rebalances for its ~300 US large-cap portfolio, began progressively trimming SCHW’s allocation from 0.33% starting in late May 2026. This adjustment occurred as the stock experienced a -14.3% 90-day return and a -4.7% 30-day return, indicating a decline in its momentum characteristics. With SCHW’s current price of $87.61 trading near the lower end of its 52-week range of $85.35 to $107.21, QRFT's proprietary alternative-data overlays, combined with traditional factor analysis, likely identified a sustained shift away from the stock’s prior attractiveness within its diversified holdings. This confluence of declining price performance and factor signals ultimately led to the complete removal of SCHW from QRFT's portfolio on 2026-06-02.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 2d
Qraft Technologies’ AI, which combines traditional factors like momentum with proprietary alternative-data overlays for its broad large-cap core QRFT fund, signaled a consecutive weight decrease for SCHW. This adjustment occurred as the financial giant experienced a significant price decline, evidenced by its 30-day return of -14.6%. With QRFT rebalancing its approximately 300 US large-cap holdings weekly, the AI system likely responded to this deteriorating price trend, reflecting a reduced conviction in the stock given its recent performance. The consistent reduction in allocation, even while SCHW maintains an ROE of 19.08%, suggests the AI’s models are prioritizing immediate market dynamics over longer-term profitability in this instance.

QRFT · Weight increase · 2d
Managing QRFT's approximately 300 US large-cap holdings with weekly rebalances, the Qraft AI system identified a developing position in SCHW. Despite recent short-term price dips, the fund's combination of traditional factors and proprietary alternative-data overlays likely signaled a compelling entry point for the financial sector company. The AI's models appear to consider the current price level, which is at 86% of its 52-week high, as a favorable opportunity for allocation. Such precise, consecutive increases in weight, bringing its allocation to 0.34%, underscore QRFT's dynamic large-cap core strategy and its AI tilt.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 2d
The AI ETF likely initiated the consecutive weight decrease due to negative short-term price momentum or deteriorating market sentiment impacting SCHW or the broader financial sector, despite its solid long-term fundamentals. For retail investors, this highlights that AI funds rapidly adjust based on dynamic, often real-time signals beyond static metrics, emphasizing the need to monitor market trends and relative performance alongside fundamentals.

Buffett-style framework
The AI ETF PQUS recently exited its position in Charles Schwab, showing no current holdings among tracked AI ETFs. This action aligns with the framework's 'Fail' verdict, as critical financial data was insufficient to confirm the company's health, suggesting a cautious stance is warranted.
- Circle of CompetenceThe established nature of investment banking and brokerage services, combined with Charles Schwab's market position, allows for reasonable projection of ten-year cash flows.
- Economic MoatCharles Schwab benefits from strong brand recognition, significant scale-driven cost advantages, and high switching costs for its client base.
- ManagementInsufficient data is provided to evaluate management's candor, capital allocation discipline, or ownership stakes.
- Financial HealthThe provided data is insufficient to verify the ten-year average ROE, stability of operating margins, manageability of debt, or consistency of owner earnings.
- Margin of SafetyWithout a conservative estimate of intrinsic value, it is not possible to determine if a margin of safety exists at the current price.
While Charles Schwab operates within a predictable industry and possesses strong economic moats, a comprehensive assessment of its financial health was not possible with the provided data. The inability to confirm key financial metrics like long-term ROE stability, manageable debt, and consistent owner earnings prevents a passing grade for this company based on the framework.
