Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on TD Ameritrade (NASDAQ: AMTD) price target of $18.00.

Shares of AMTD had been down most of the trading session, but closed up 1%. The stock have moved higher by $1.00 since August 27th, a move of ~6%.

Roger A. Freeman, reviewing AMTD's August trading metrics, said, "softer than expected for the month, but client asset balances moved higher. Trading activity (DARTs) was down 8.7% sequentially, client assets moved higher by 2.6% during the month (presumably helped the increase in the market), and IDA balances finished 1.8% higher for August. We believe that while many of macro headwinds remain in place, we could see some improvement in Sept volumes given the release of some pent-up trading activity from a vacation-impacted August."
