Schwab Equity Ratings and Percentile Ranking Meaning and Distribution
Schwab Equity Ratings are assigned to approximately 3000 of the largest (by market capitalization) U.S. headquartered stocks using a scale of "A", "B", "C", "D", and "F". The explanation and table below are included to assist you in using Schwab Equity Ratings and corresponding percentile rankings as one component of your own research to evaluate stocks and investment opportunities.

Schwab rates stocks "A" to "F." Schwab's outlook is that "A" rated stocks, on average, will strongly outperform and "F" rated stocks, on average, will strongly underperform the equities market over the next 12 months. Schwab Equity Ratings are based upon a disciplined, systematic approach that evaluates each stock on the basis of a wide variety of investment criteria from four broad categories: Fundamentals, Valuation, Momentum, and Risk. This approach attempts to gauge investor expectations since stock prices tend to move in the same direction as changes in investor expectations. Stocks with low and potentially improving investor expectations tend to receive the best Schwab Equity Ratings ("A" or "B" ratings), while stocks with high and potentially falling investor expectations tend to receive the worst Schwab Equity Ratings ("D" or "F" ratings). Over time, the methodology upon which Schwab Equity Ratings are based may be altered. For more on the components of the Schwab Equity Ratings, see Schwab Equity Rating - Component Grades.

+The general buy/hold/sell guidance is relative to other rated equities only. Before considering whether to take any action, an investor should consider whether equities generally are performing well in comparison to other asset classes and whether other equities in the same sector or category with the same or better rating may be more appropriate.

Percentile Rankings Explanation:
 Each of the approximately 3000 stocks rated in the Schwab Equity Ratings universe is given a score that is derived from several research factors. The assignment of a final Schwab Equity Rating depends on how well a given stock scores in each of the factors and then how that stock stacks up against all other rated stocks. The result is a stock's percentile ranking. The lowest percentile rankings represent the best scores and correspond to the best letter grades. For example, in a universe of 3000 rated stocks, the top 30 stocks would receive a percentile ranking of 1 and the bottom 30 stocks would receive a percentile ranking of 100. Furthermore, stocks ranked in percentile groups 1-5 are rated "A" and those in percentile groups 6-30 are rated "B." The table above illustrates the percentile rankings and approximate Schwab Equity Ratings distributions.

Although Schwab generally does not monitor C, D, and F rated stocks for current news, from time to time, asterisks may appear on a particular stock due to certain circumstances (e.g. the downgrade of a stock from a B to a C-rating). In any event, you should always check news on a stock before placing a trade.

Investment Ratings Explanation

A (Strongly Outperform): If an investor is looking to add a stock to his or her
    portfolio, "A" rated stocks may be the best candidates for consideration.

B (Outperform): An investor looking to add a stock to his or her portfolio should
    also consider a "B" rated stock, though preference should be given to "A"
    rated stocks.

C (Marketperform): An investor would not usually consider a "C" rated stock for
    purchase. An investor that has a "C" rated stock in his or her portfolio should
    consider continuing to hold the stock, and might monitor the stock's ongoing
    performance and compare the potential benefits of owning a stock with
    higher ratings.

D (Underperform): An investor holding a "D" rated stock should consider
    whether it is appropriate to continue to hold that stock in his or her portfolio.
    An investor would not usually consider a "D" rated stock for purchase.

F (Strongly Underperform): An investor holding an "F" rated stock should
    consider whether it is appropriate to eliminate that stock from his or her
    portfolio. An investor would not usually consider an "F" rated stock for
    purchase.
