CleaRank AI analysis of SCHD
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) keeps an upward trend, priced at $34.35: 1.04% above its 50-day average of $34.00 and 7.33% above its 200-day average of $32.00. The price sits near the top of its 52-week range, 2.72% below the high of $35.31 and 30.51% above the low of $26.32. The 50-day average sits 6.22% above the 200-day, which confirms the move rather than contradicting it.
The 14-day RSI of 65.4 is in the bullish zone, below the overbought line, while the MACD line is negative, so the two momentum readings point different ways. The record is positive across every period shown: the price rose 4.38% over the past three months, rose 10.63% over the past six months and rose 29.28% over the past year.
- Two levels matter most right now: the 52-week high at $35.31 sits above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $34.00 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 65.4, in the bullish zone, with the MACD line negative; 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 $34.00 and its 200-day average at $32.00; 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 50-day SMA at $34.00.
The next level above the price is the 52-week high of $35.31. With the RSI in the bullish zone, momentum still supports the advance.

Long-term scenarios
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 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in SCHD today could grow to about $20,770 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $41,207 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $10,469 (above the amount invested: over ten years most simulated paths of a rising, moderately volatile asset end higher). 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 share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $46.02 for SCHD by 2030 in the base case, from $34.35 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $29.83. 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 | $29.76 | $36.95 | $45.89 | |
