CleaRank Financial AI analysis of SCHD
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
SCHD, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, remains in an uptrend. It trades at $35.78, with the price 4.82% above its 50-day average of $34.13 and 10.60% above its 200-day average of $32.35. Within its 52-week range the price is near the top: 0.88% below the high of $36.10 and 35.94% above the low of $26.32. The 50-day average is 5.51% above the 200-day, a configuration that supports the move instead of working against it.
Momentum is running hot: the 14-day RSI sits at 73.9, which is in the overbought zone, and the MACD line is positive. Every recent return is positive as well. Over the past three months the price rose 6.90%, over the past six months it rose 12.30%, and over the past year it rose 34.11%.
- The two closest levels to keep an eye on are the 52-week high of $36.10, which sits above the price, and the 20-day EMA of $34.58, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 73.9, in the overbought zone, with the MACD line positive; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.06% a year, SCHD charges $6.00 on every $10,000 invested.
The uptrend rests on SCHD staying above its 50-day average at $34.13 and its 200-day average at $32.35; a close below the 50-day would be the first crack in it. On a pullback, the first level the price would meet is the 20-day EMA at $34.58.
The 52-week high of $36.10 is the next level above the price. With RSI sitting above the overbought line, a pause in momentum would be a normal development even while the uptrend holds.

SCHD price prediction 2030
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SCHD, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in SCHD today could grow to about $13,458 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $20,771 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $8,720. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.24% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SCHD 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $48.15 for SCHD by 2030 in the base case, from $35.78 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $31.20. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SCHD's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $31.02 | $38.54 | $47.88 | |
| 2028 | $30.54 | $41.51 | $56.42 | |
| 2029 | $30.70 | $44.71 | $65.10 | |
