MW Schwab says market volatility fueled volume as Q1 profit outpaces estimates

Charles Schwab Corp.'s stock $(SCHW)$ was up 2.9% in premarket trading after the online broker and money-management company said market volatility drove a surge in average trading volume, as it beat Wall Street analyst estimates for first-quarter profit.

Schwab said "a sharp increase in market volatility" during the quarter drove a 17% jump in daily average trading volume.

The financial firm's first-quarter net income rose to $1.91 billion, or 99 cents a share, from $1.36 billion, or 68 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted first-quarter profit of $1.04 a share beat the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.01 a share.

Schwab's first-quarter revenue increased to $5.6 billion from $4.74 billion in the year-ago quarter, ahead of the analyst projection of $5.53 billion.
