NEGATIVE IMPACT
Charles Schwab's Q4 earnings report showed a decline in profits and revenue but strong asset growth. Despite beating EPS estimates, shares dropped 7% in early trading.
The decline in Charles Schwab's adjusted net income and revenue, coupled with the decrease in deposits and net interest revenue, are negative indicators that are likely to impact investor sentiment in the short term.

The 7% drop in share price reflects the market's initial reaction to the mixed results, suggesting a negative short-term impact on the stock.
