What it owns and what it owes

Both on one scale, because both are money — the bar that is taller is the one that matters.

Cash and debt

Cash & InvestmentsTotal Debt

Cash counts short-term investments, not just the bank balance — technology companies park most of it in marketable securities, and leaving those out understates it several times over. Debt includes lease obligations.

About this data

Everything above comes from Schwab Charles Corp.’s own filings with the SEC, as reported. No estimates, no analyst figures, nothing adjusted.

Not reported by this filer: Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, R&D Expense, SG&A Expense, Total Operating Expenses, Operating Income, Non-interest Income, Current Assets, Current Liabilities, Inventory, Receivables, Long-term Debt (current), Borrowings (total), Operating Lease (current), Operating Lease (noncurrent), Finance Lease (current), and Finance Lease (noncurrent). Companies choose which XBRL tags to use, and anything untagged cannot be recovered — so these are blank rather than guessed.
