Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

Euro Fines on US Tech. In 2024, public EU tech companies generated just €3.2B in income tax revenue, while fines levied on U.S. tech firms totaled €3.8- more than the entire tax contribution of Europe’s own public tech sector. The implication is stark: Europe’s fiscal exposure to tech is increasingly dependent on regulation and penalties rather than domestic innovation, leaving its tax base vulnerable if even a single major player were to relocate.

Transfer Portal Compensation. The Division I transfer portal closing marks the start of the real business season in college football, where contracts, negotiations, and leverage matter as much as on-field performance. This position-by-position breakdown highlights just how uneven NIL earning power is, reinforcing that for many athletes, peak income opportunities are short, concentrated, and highly role-dependent.

​
​Household Net Worth Composition. U.S. households now hold more of their net worth in equities than real estate for only the third time in the last 65 years. With corporate equities and mutual funds reaching roughly 31% of household net worth in Q2 2025, this all-time high underscores both the wealth created by markets and the growing importance of diversification as exposure to stocks rises.
