The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW ) announced on October 1, 2026, that it will begin dual listing its common stock on the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), with trading on the venue set to commence at market open on October 7, 2026, under the ticker symbol SCHW. The company will maintain its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange, according to the company’s announcement.

“We’re proud to support TXSE and what it represents for the future of U.S. markets,” said Rick Wurster, Schwab’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Texas is central to our story as the home of our headquarters and more than 10,000 employees.” Wurster said Schwab was excited to be part of TXSE’s launch and to continue the work the company has done for 50 years: helping people reach their financial goals with the guidance, tools, and insights they need to build a brighter financial future.

“Schwab’s decision to join TXSE reflects the growing demand among leading public companies for greater competition, choice and alignment in the U.S. public markets,” said Texas Stock Exchange Chairman and CEO James H. Lee. Lee said America’s economic center of gravity is shifting and that Schwab, which he described as one of the most respected names in financial services, understands where the markets are headed. He said the exchange was proud to partner with Schwab as it positions itself for the future.

Schwab is headquartered in Westlake, Texas, and was among the original group of investors in TXSE. Separate from the listing announcement, the company will celebrate its TXSE listing at a closing bell ceremony on October 26, 2026.
