Equities have never been this expensive relative to the real economy, and Hedgeye is flagging it as a record. Buffett's favorite valuation gauge at 200% leaves no cushion if earnings growth slows.

US stock market value has reached 200% of GDP, a level never recorded before, per Hedgeye on October 23, 2026. Warren Buffett's preferred valuation gauge now leaves no historical floor to lean on.
Any meaningful slowdown in earnings growth or a contraction in economic output forces a repricing without precedent.
The gauge measures what investors are paying for a claim on the entire economy, which is why this reading matters.
With the gauge at an all-time high, the risk is asymmetric, so keep an eye on the market here.
