What is stockholders' equity? Stockholders' equity (also known as shareholders' equity) is one of the three elements of a corporation's balance sheet and the accounting equation as outlined here: assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity. Some view stockholders' equity as a source (along with liabilities) of the corporation's assets.
All Stock is listed under Owners Equity or also known as Stockholders Equity. If you look at the Accounting Equation you understand that. Assets = Liabilities + Owners (Stockholders) Equity. Assets maintain a Debit Balance, while Liabilities maintain a Credit Balance. OE (Stockholders Equity) also will maintain a Credit Balance. Therefore stock will maintain a Credit Balance. The only exception to this rule is Treasury stock which is stock purchased back by the company to reduce outstanding stock.
