Where Data Tells the Story

U.S. households and nonprofits held $45.0 trillion in corporate equities at the end of Q1 2026—$10.1 trillion more than their $34.9 trillion in owners’ equity in real estate. The comparison is useful because it shows the size of corporate shareholdings alongside the amount homeowners retain after mortgages. But it is not a claim that stocks are worth more than all U.S. homes: the real-estate figure is net of mortgages, whereas the corporate-equity figure is an asset value. The Federal Reserve tracks both lines in its quarterly household balance sheet. Values are nominal market values and include the household-and-nonprofit sector.
