Morgan III, General Counsel of Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW), exercised 7,595 stock options on 2026-02-02 at a strike of $66.47 per share (total cost $504,840) and sold those 7,595 shares the same day in the open market for a weighted-average price of $104.38 per share (total proceeds $792,796).

Context This was an option exercise immediately followed by a sale of the shares (commonly a cashless exercise or same-day disposition). Such transactions are often routine (e.g., to cover tax/strike costs) and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The filing discloses the sale price as a weighted average over multiple trades and provides plan-reference footnotes for the option grant and vesting.
