Why is Schwab 1000 Index ETF (SCHK) stock moving?
No news items or SEC filings were published for SCHK in the window, so the assessment rests on price and volume alone. The ETF closed at $36.07 on Nov 10, about 1.7% below its Oct 22 close of $36.69 and 2.8% below its Oct 28 close of $37.11. The main event in the data is Nov 5, when shares fell 4.4% to $35.21 on 2.59M shares and 9,919 trades, roughly three to four times the usual trade count. The data does not show what caused it. Prices recovered to $36.21 on Nov 9 and held near $36.07 on Nov 10 on normal volume, which suggests the selling has faded. The price is still below its late-October levels, and the Nov 5 low of $35.19 marks the bottom of the recent range. Without news or filings, there is no clear catalyst to lean on in either direction.
About Schwab 1000 Index ETF
The Schwab 1000 Index ETF is a low-cost Charles Schwab fund, launched in October 2017, that holds roughly the 1,000 largest publicly traded US companies. It uses the same method as Schwab's Schwab 1000 Index mutual fund, which dates back to 1991, and charges a very low expense ratio of about 0.03%.
How the fund works
The fund is passively managed: it aims to match the returns of the S&P Schwab 1000 Index, which ranks eligible US stocks by size (market value adjusted for freely traded shares), after screening for liquidity and trading requirements. The index is rebuilt once a year and rebalanced every quarter. It holds about 990 stocks, with assets of roughly $6 billion. Because bigger companies get bigger weights, the 10 largest holdings make up about a third of the fund. These include Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet, and technology is about 36% of the fund. It pays dividends every quarter, with a yield of about 1%. The main risk is the ups and downs of the US stock market as a whole, plus the fund's heavy weighting in a few big tech companies.
