"Schwab's longstanding reputation as a safe port in a storm remains intact, driven by record-setting business performance, a conservative balance sheet, a strong liquidity position, and a diversified base of 34 million+ account holders who invest with Schwab every day," Bettinger and Schwab wrote.

That same day, Chief Financial Officer Peter Crawford's trust paid $289,780 for 5,000 shares at an average price of $57.96; director Todd Ricketts paid $567,862 for 10,000 shares at an average price of $56.79; and director John Adams paid $296,550 for 5,000 shares at an average price of $59.31.
