Live On CNBC FHFA Director Bill Pulte Says: Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Could Be Worth Trillions of Dollars

Shares of Fannie Mae Inc. (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac Inc. (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) are trading higher Thursday after President Donald Trump said he is seriously considering<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45557031/trump-considers-taking-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-public-calls-mortgage-giants-very-profitable-says-timing-seems-right"> taking the mortgage giants public. </a>
What To Know: In a Truth Social post, Trump called the government-sponsored enterprises "very profitable" and said the timing "seems right" to privatize them. He added that he would consult with top officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and FHFA Director William Pulte, before making a decision.
The rise in both stocks follows years of speculation about the future of Fannie and Freddie, which have remained under federal conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis. Though profitable and backed by private shareholders, the companies have been under tight government control for more than 15 years. They buy mortgages from lenders and repackage them into mortgage-backed securities, supporting nearly half of the U.S. residential mortgage market.
Trump's remarks come amid recent upheaval at the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Director Pulte recently fired Freddie Mac's CEO, dismissed 14 board members from both institutions, and appointed himself chairman of both entities. The shakeup suggests a shift toward more direct federal control ahead of potential privatization.
The surge also follows a new tender offer from Fannie Mae for its Connecticut Avenue Securities notes and Freddie Mac's latest mortgage rate update showing a slight uptick in 30-year fixed rates to 6.86%. Market watchers also noted support from influential investors like Bill Ackman, who has said the companies are primed to exit conservatorship under a Trump administration.
With no final decision announced, speculation is driving the rally. Traders are reacting to the possibility of long-awaited structural changes at the heart of the U.S. housing finance system, potentially setting the stage for one of the biggest public offerings in years.
Price Action: Fannie Mae shares are up 42.4% at $10.60 and Freddie Mac shares were up 41.1% at $8.00 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Stocks Surge On Trump Privatization Remarks: What's Going On?

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he is giving &#8220;very serious consideration&#8221; to taking mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&nbsp;public, signaling potential privatization of the government-sponsored enterprises.
What Happened: In a Truth Social post, Trump said he will consult with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte before making a decision. &#8220;Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are doing very well, throwing off a lot of CASH, and the time would seem to be right,&#8221; Trump stated.

The mortgage giants, which underpin approximately half of the U.S. residential mortgage market, have generated substantial cash flows since their 2008 conservatorship, according to Reuters. Both companies operate as for-profit corporations with private shareholders, purchasing home loans from private lenders and repackaging them as mortgage-backed securities.

Why It Matters: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed under Federal Housing Finance Agency conservatorship during the 2008 financial crisis after suffering overwhelming losses from the housing market collapse. The government intervention prevented catastrophic economic effects but maintained federal control over the entities.
FHFA Director Bill Pulte recently fired Freddie Mac CEO Diana Reid and placed senior FHFA officials on administrative leave. Pulte also dismissed 14 board members from both companies and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44436692/fannie-mae-freddie-mac-in-upheaval-as-trump-administration-considers-privatizing-mortgage-giants">appointed himself chairman of both entities</a>.

Freddie Mac (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) today announced it sold via auction 28 deeply delinquent non-performing residential first lien loans (NPLs) from its mortgage-related investments portfolio to VRMTG ACQ, LLC.

Freddie Mac Sells $5.3M In Non-Performing Loans

Hedge fund titan Bill Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square Holdings, a closed-end fund listed on the London Stock Exchange, is down 14% year-to-date, owing to tariff-related market volatility.
The losses, however, have only been calculated through April 8th, and don&#8217;t include the massive rally on Wednesday.
What Happened: Ackman&#8217;s fund allocates capital across 8 to 12 stocks, which are usually large-cap, liquid, and North American-based. 
The fund&#8217;s holdings during the past couple of months, comprising Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), and Hilton Hotels Corp. (NYSE:&nbsp;HLT), among others, none of which have performed well over the past few months, posting year-to-date declines of 19.48%, 14.96%, and 10.80%, respectively.

Even its relatively well-insulated holdings, such as Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>), haven&#8217;t performed too well, declining 15.51% and 11% year-to-date, respectively.
Holdings gained during this period include Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Federal National Mortgage Association (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>), gaining 15.05%, 75%, and 49.85%, respectively.
Why It Matters: Bill Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square Holdings has generated a <a href="https://pershingsquareholdings.com/performance/net-asset-value-and-returns/">compounded annual NAV</a> return of 22.2% over the past five years. Ackman is also known for generating one of the industry&#8217;s highest returns of 70.2% in 2020, betting that the market would crash during the COVID-19 pandemic, making $2.2 billion for his investors.
This has positioned him as a trendsetter in the industry, whose portfolio is regularly watched to understand where the market is headed. He is also one of the most outspoken individuals on Wall Street, having made the news several times over the past few days alone.
On Wednesday, Bill Ackman praised Trump for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44723751/billionaire-investor-bill-ackman-praises-trumps-tariff-pause-thank-you-on-behalf-of-all-americans">pausing the tariffs</a>, before that he <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44661978/bill-ackman-blames-market-collapse-on-tariff-timing-says-trump-advisor-should-be-fired-now-predicts-a-lot-more-than-5-dip">criticized the timing</a> of the tariffs, <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44662730/bill-ackman-slams-commerce-secretary-lutnick-for-ignoring-stock-market-crash-he-and-cantor-are-long-bonds">slammed Commerce Secretary</a> Howard Lutnick, and more, all over the past week. 
Price Action: Pershing Square Holdings stock was up 8.14% on Wednesday, closing at 3,508 GBX, and is down 12.08% year-to-date.

Bill Ackman Feels The Sting: Pershing Square Portfolio Down 14% Year-To-Date Amid Tariff Volatility

President Donald Trump's newly appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency Bill Pulte on Thursday fired the CEO of mortgage giant Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) and placed two senior FHFA officials on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43040244/trump-taps-bill-pulte-to-lead-the-federal-housing-finance-agency">administrative leave.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Pulte fired Freddie Mac CEO Diana Reid and placed FHFA COO Gina Cross and Human Resources Director Monica Matthews on leave, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/20/employees-placed-on-leave-at-top-housing-regulator-00240298">a report </a>from Politico.&nbsp;
The moves come after Pulte fired 14 members of Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac's boards of directors and appointed himself chairman of both companies earlier this week. Antonio White, director of FHFA's Office of Congressional Affairs and Communications, was fired on Monday.
The sources also told Politico that several employees in the FHFA's Office of Consumer Protection, the Office of Statistics and Research and the Office of Equal Opportunity and Fairness were placed on leave and employees in the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion were placed on leave weeks ago, as Pulte guts the agency.
Why It Matters: The shake-up at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which underpin about half of the U.S. residential mortgage market, comes as the Trump administration considers privatizing them. Privatization of the government-controlled entities could benefit private investors but has raised concerns among Democrats and others about potential disruptions to the housing finance market
What Else: Billionaire investor and CEO of Pershing Square hedge fund Bill Ackman recommended the companies<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42734220/bill-ackman-sends-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-stocks-soaring-trump-likes-big-deals"> as investments</a> in December and said he sees the potential for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to come out of conservatorship under the Trump administration.&nbsp;
&#8220;Trump likes big deals and this would be the biggest deal in history. I am confident he will get it done,&#8221; Ackman wrote in a social media<a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1873818034428694837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> post</a>.&nbsp;
FNMA, FMCC Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fannie Mae shares ended Thursday's session 3.99% higher at $6.26 and Freddie Mac closed up 1.57% at $5.16. Both stocks are moving higher in early in Friday's session, despite large index futures moving lower.&nbsp;

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac In Upheaval As Trump Administration Considers Privatizing Mortgage Giants

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The Nasdaq ended the week down 1.6%, with the S&amp;P 500 losing 1% and the Dow gaining 0.3%, as markets attempted to recover from earlier losses. 
Strong earnings and a more dovish tone from Fed Chair Jerome Powell helped lift sentiment, reinforcing hopes for future rate cuts. However, by Friday, concerns over new U.S. tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada weighed on the market, leading to renewed volatility. 
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the 25% and 10% tariffs would take effect Saturday, raising fears <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43404983/stocks-trim-deepseek-losses-fed-holds-steady-trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-this-week-in-the-markets">of economic disruptions.</a>

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Palantir, Rigetti Computing And Shiba Inu Hints At Major Partnership

Shares of Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) fell Monday after Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analysts downgraded the stocks to Underperform. Here's a look at the latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42734220/bill-ackman-sends-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-stocks-soaring-trump-likes-big-deals">developments for the mortgage giants. </a>
What To Know: The Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analysts, led by Tommy McJoynt, said that though the odds of a privatization attempt have grown lately, they see "considerable risk" to the stocks at their current levels. Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are up 333% and 343%, respectively, since the day before the election of President Donald Trump.

The analysts increased the probability of the senior preferred shares being forgiven to 10% from 5%, but said they see a failed attempt at privatization or a successful privatization with dilution of senior preferred shares to common as more likely outcomes.&nbsp;
However, the firm did raise the price target for Fannie Mae from $3 to $4 and raised Freddie Mac from $4 to $4.50 based on the higher probability of forgiveness of the senior preferred shares.&nbsp;
What Else: Trump recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43040244/trump-taps-bill-pulte-to-lead-the-federal-housing-finance-agency">plans to nominate</a> private equity CEO Bill Pulte as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which is expected to oversee efforts to return Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the private sector, according to Reuters.

'Ending government control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac not likely soon' - Washington Post

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans Thursday to nominate private equity CEO Bill Pulte as director of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/housing">Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)</a>. 
What To Know: If Trump&#8217;s selection is confirmed, Pulte will become the top housing regulator, overseeing mortgage giants Fannie Mae (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTCQB">FMCC</a>), which have been in conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis.
The FHFA is expected to play an integral role in anticipated efforts to return the mortgage giants to the private sector, according to Reuters. 
Trump reportedly took steps to try to remove Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from government control during his first term. Removing the mortgage giants from conservatorship is expected to be a priority for Trump in his upcoming administration.

Pulte is the grandson of William Pulte, founder and chairman of U.S. homebuilder PulteGroup.&nbsp;He&#8217;s also known for his philanthropy on social media platform X, where he often gives away money to people in need of financial help.
&#8220;Bill needs no formal introduction to the Great Citizens of our Country, because they have seen, and many have experienced, his philanthropy firsthand. He believes in the incredible potential of our Nation, and will help us restore the American Dream FOR ALL,&#8221; Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113838912162964211">post</a> on Truth Social. 
Shares of Fannie Mae were down nearly 10% and shares of Freddie Mac were lower by more than 11% at last check, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a> 
Despite Thursday&#8217;s declines, Fannie and Freddie are both up close to 300% over the past three months in anticipation of Trump&#8217;s return to the White House.
Meanwhile, the VanEck Mortgage REIT Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MORT#NYSE">MORT</a>) and IShares Residential And Multisector Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REZ#NYSE">REZ</a>) were both up about 1% at the time of writing.

Trump Taps Private Equity Investor Bill Pulte To Lead Federal Housing Finance Agency

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The Nasdaq and S&amp;P 500 ended a five-day losing streak on Friday, but the week closed with the S&amp;P down 0.48%, the Dow losing 0.60%, and the Nasdaq dropping 0.51%.
Rising Treasury yields, including a 30-year high of 4.8%, raised borrowing cost concerns and drove record December outflows from the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), as markets carried weak momentum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42796485/goodbye-santa-rally-tesla-falters-on-deliveries-investors-flee-bonds-ahead-of-trumps-second-term-this-week-in-the-market">into the new year.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. manufacturing sector showed signs of stabilization in December, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI climbing to 49.3%, its highest since April 2024, though still marking the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42790042/us-manufacturing-activity-tops-expectations-in-december-rises-to-9-month-highs">ninth consecutive month of contraction.</a>

The Details: Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square hedge fund, recommended the stocks as an investment with "large asymmetric upside versus downside" in <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1873818034428694837">a post</a> on the social media platform X.&nbsp;
Ackman said he sees the potential for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to come out of conservatorship in the next two years. Ackman pointed to the incoming Trump administration as a factor making the end of conservatorship more likely for the home lenders.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed under conservatorship in September 2008 in response to the deterioration of the housing market during the 2008 financial crisis. The Federal Housing Finance Agency became the conservator to preserve and conserve the assets and to provide stability to the housing and mortgage markets.&nbsp;

Ackman said that the companies have built $168 billion of capital since 2019 and described this as a "fortress-level of capital for guarantors of fixed-rate, first mortgages to creditworthy, middle class borrowers."&nbsp;
Ackman said he estimates the value of each company at approximately $34 per share, assuming the companies could IPO in the fourth quarter of 2026. He added that he sees the IPOs priced at approximately $31 per share accounting for a 10% discount to their value.&nbsp;&nbsp;
He also pointed to the benefits of ending the conservatorship for the federal government including the removal of approximately $8 trillion in liabilities and the potential to generate more than $300 billion in profits. 
"Trump likes big deals and this would be the biggest deal in history. I am confident he will get it done," Ackman wrote.&nbsp;

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Downgrades Federal Home Loan to Market Perform, Raises Price Target to $4

Mortgage rates continue to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40921345/mortgage-rates-drop-to-2-year-low-refinancing-hits-fastest-pace-since-2022-rocket-lendingtree-among">fall toward 6%</a> as the housing market absorbs the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 0.5% rate cut on Wednesday, raising demand for refinancing and buying, stated Freddie Mac.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 6.09% on Thursday, down from 6.2% a week ago and 7.19% a year earlier, according to Freddie Mac&#8217;s Primary Market Mortgage Survey.
The rate for a 15-year fixed mortgage declined to 5.15%, down from 5.27% a week ago and 6.54% a year earlier.
"Mortgage rates continued declining towards the six percent mark, reviving purchase and refinance demand for many consumers," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist.

"While mortgage rates do not directly follow moves by the Federal Reserve, this first cut in over four years will have an impact on the housing market. Declining mortgage rates over the last several weeks indicate this cut was mostly baked in, but we expect rates to fall further, sparking more housing activity."
Exchange-traded funds that hold mortgage stocks are sensitive to mortgage rates because they primarily invest in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) or mortgage-related assets, which are directly impacted by changes in interest rates.

Mortgage Rates Near 6%, Demand Increases For Refinancing, Purchases

Shares of U.S.-listed mortgage lenders have risen on the heels of U.S. regulators allowing the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>), aka Freddie Mac, to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38647920/homebuyers-get-mixed-news-from-freddie-mac-and-the-federal-reserve">buy second mortgages</a>, a move that could lower the cost of borrowing against home equity.
The Federal Housing Finance Authority (FHFA) said Freddie Mac could buy up to $2.5 billion of second mortgages over an 18-month trial period, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-24/us-approves-freddie-mac-pilot-program-to-buy-second-mortgages?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>. FHFA will then decide whether the pilot program helps borrowers in rural and underserved communities obtain them, among other criteria.
Freddie Mac proposed backing second mortgages in April after the steep jump in home loan rates over the past two years. When rates were lower, a homeowner who wanted to borrow for renovations might have used a cash-out refinancing that allowed them to take out a new loan bigger than their prior mortgage.

But cash-out refinancings are no longer practical for many borrowers because today&#8217;s higher interest rates would result in bigger, higher-rate loans.
Meanwhile, the steep rise in housing prices since 2020 has led to U.S. households having more than $32 trillion in equity. About $18 trillion of that is possibly available for equity extraction through private channels, according to Bloomberg.
Freddie Mac's proposal to back second mortgages has faced opposition from industry groups and politicians who argue the initiative could boost inflation and crowd out private lending, but other public comments on the proposal said it would help boost the scale of the market for home-equity lending.
Sandra Thompson, FHFA director, said capping the program at $2.5 billion would mitigate the risk of it boosting inflation. She also said requiring Freddie Mac to buy loans of $78,277 or less would ensure that it stays focused on borrowers who may be underserved, such as rural and low-income homeowners, rather than higher-income borrowers who may be better served by private lenders.
Price action: UWM Holdings Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UWMC#NYSE">UWMC</a>) gained 1.15% on Monday, while Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) improved 1.38% and PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.

Mortgage Stocks Tick Up As Freddie Mac Is Allowed To Buy Second Mortgages

Mortgage rates have declined for the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39401750/what-the-housing-market-could-look-like-if-donald-trump-wins-the-2024-presidential-election"> third consecutive week </a>following signs of cooling inflation and lower interest rates from the Federal Reserve, according to Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>).
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.87% as of Thursday, down from last week&#8217;s average of 6.95%. A year ago, the rate registered an average of 6.67%, Freddie Mac&#8217;s Primary Mortgage Survey showed.
The 15-year fixed mortgage rate came in at an average of 6.13%, down from a 6.03% average posted a week earlier. The average rate was 6.03% a year ago.
"Mortgage rates fell for the third straight week following signs of cooling inflation and market expectations of a future Fed rate cut," Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist, said in a statement.

"These lower mortgage rates coupled with the gradually improving housing supply bodes well for the housing market. Aspiring homeowners should remember it's important to shop around for the best mortgage rate as they can vary widely between lenders."
A week ago, the average rate for the 15-year fixed mortgage was 6.95%, down from 6.99% a week earlier, according to the weekly survey. It stood at 6.69% a year earlier.

모기지 대기업 패니메이(OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTCQB">FNMA</a>)와 프레디맥(OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTCQB">FMCC</a>)는 목요일(22일) 도널드 트럼프 대통령이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45557031/trump-considers-taking-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-public-calls-mortgage-giants-very-profitable-says-timing-seems-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이들 기업을 상장하는 것을 진지하게 고려하고 있다</a>는 소식에 주가가 폭등했다.
알아두어야 할 사항: 트럼프는 트루스 소셜 게시물에서 정부 지원 기업들이 &#8220;매우 수익성이 있다&#8221;고 언급하며 민영화할 시기가 &#8220;적절하다&#8221;고 말했다. 그는 결정하기 전에 스콧 베센트 재무장관과 윌리엄 풀트 연방주택금융청(FHFA) 국장 등 고위 관계자들과 상담하겠다고 덧붙였다.
패니메이와 프레디맥 주가 급등은 2008년 금융 위기 이후 연방 관리 하에 있는 두 기업의 미래에 대한 수년간의 추측 이후 나온 것이다. 이들 기업은 수익성이 있고 민간 주주들의 지원을 받고 있지만, 15년 이상 정부의 엄격한 통제 하에 있다. 이들은 대출업체로부터 모기지를 구매하여 이를 모기지 담보 증권으로 재포장하며, 미국 주택 모기지 시장의 거의 절반을 지원한다.
트럼프의 발언은 FHFA에서 최근의 혼란 속에서 나왔다. 풀트 국장은 최근 프레디맥 CEO를 해임하고 두 기관의 이사 14명을 해임했으며, 두 기관의 의장직을 겸임하게 되었다. 이러한 변화는 민영화를 앞둔 연방의 더 직접적인 통제를 시사한다.
또한, 패니메이는 코네티컷 애비뉴 증권 노트에 대한 새로운 입찰 제안을 발표했으며, 프레디맥의 최신 모기지 금리 업데이트에서는 30년 고정 금리가 6.86%로 소폭 상승했다고 밝혔다. 시장 분석가들은 빌 애크먼과 같은 영향력 있는 투자자들의 지지를 주목했다. 애크먼은 이들 기업이 트럼프 행정부 하에서 정부의 관리체제(conservatorship)로부터 벗어날 준비가 되어 있다고 말했다.
최종 결정이 발표되지 않은 상황에서, 추측이 랠리를 이끌고 있다. 트레이더들은 미국 주택 금융 시스템의 중심에서 오랫동안 기다려온 구조적 변화의 가능성에 반응하고 있으며, 이는 수년 간의 가장 큰 공모를 위한 무대를 마련할 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 패니메이 주식은 목요일 50.60% 상승한 11.22달러로 마감했고, 프레디맥은 41.98% 상승한 8.05달러로 마감했다.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45559926/us-stock-likely-to-open-on-a-mixed-note-after-2-day-fall-we-do-not-see-the-us-economy-dipping-into-a-recession-this-year"> </a>

도널드 트럼프 대통령은 수요일(21일) 모기지 금융 대기업 패니메이(Fannie Mae)와 프레디맥(Freddie Mac)을 상장하는 것에 대해 &#8220;매우 진지하게 고려하고 있다&#8221;고 발표하며 정부 지원 기업의 민영화 가능성을 시사했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 트럼프는 트루스 소셜 게시물에서 결정을 내리기 전에 스콧 베센트 재무장관, 하워드 러트닉 상무장관, 윌리엄 펄트 연방주택금융청장과 상의할 것이라고 말했다. 트럼프는 "패니메이와 프레디맥은 매우 잘하고 있고, 많은 현금을 쏟아내고 있으며, 지금이 적기인 것 같다"고 말했다.

로이터 통신에 따르면 미국 주택담보대출 시장의 약 절반을 차지하는 국책 부동산담보 대출기관인 패니메이와 프레디맥은 2008년 관리인 체제 이후 상당한 현금 흐름을 창출해왔다. 두 회사 모두 개인 주주가 있는 영리 회사로 운영되며, 개인 대출 기관으로부터 주택 대출을 매입하여 모기지 담보 증권으로 재포장한다.
왜 중요한가: 패니메이와 프레디맥은 2008년 금융 위기 당시 주택 시장 붕괴로 막대한 손실을 입은 후 연방주택금융청의 관리 하에 놓였다. 정부의 개입으로 파국적인 경제적 영향은 막았지만 두 기관에 대한 연방 정부의 통제는 유지되었다.
최근 빌 펄트 FHFA 국장은 프레디맥의 CEO 다이애나 리드를 해고하고 연방금융청(FHFA) 고위 관리들을 행정 휴직 조치했다. 또한 펄트는 두 회사의 이사회 구성원 14명을 해임하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44436692/fannie-mae-freddie-mac-in-upheaval-as-trump-administration-considers-privatizing-mortgage-giants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">자신을 두 회사의 회장으로 임명</a>했다.
억만장자 투자자 퍼싱 스퀘어 캐피털 매니지먼트의 빌 애크먼은 12월에 두 회사가 트럼프 행정부 하에서 관리인 체제를 벗어날 것으로 예상한다며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42734220/bill-ackman-sends-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-stocks-soaring-trump-likes-big-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">두 회사를 투자 대상으로 추천</a>했다. 애크먼은 "트럼프는 큰 거래를 좋아하며 이는 역사상 가장 큰 거래가 될 것&#8221;이라고 썼다.

트럼프, 패니메이와 프레디맥 민영화 검토 중···"수익성 좋은 지금이 적기"

벤징가는 지난주 <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">많은 투자자들이 선호하는 주식들</a>의 전망을 조사한 결과를 바탕으로, 다음과 같이 주요 뉴스 몇 가지를 요약했다.
나스닥은 1.6% 하락으로 주간을 마감했고, S&amp;P 500은 1% 하락했으며, 다우는 0.3% 상승했다. 이는 시장이 이전 손실에서 회복을 시도하는 과정에서 발생한 일이다.
강력한 실적과 제롬 파월 연방준비제도 의장의 보다 비둘기파적인 발언이 분위기를 개선하여 미래 금리 인하에 대한 기대를 강화했다. 그러나 금요일에는 중국, 멕시코 및 캐나다에 대한 새로운 미국 관세 우려가 시장에 부담을 주어 변동성을 재차 일으켰다.
백악관 대변인 카롤라인 리빗은 25%와 10%의 관세가 토요일부터 시행될 것이라고 확인하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43404983/stocks-trim-deepseek-losses-fed-holds-steady-trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-this-week-in-the-markets">경제적 혼란에 대한 우려</a>를 불러일으켰다.
벤징가는 투자자들이 가장 선호하는 주식들에 대한 일일 보고서를 제공한다. 지난주 가장 긍정적(bullish)이고 부정적(bearish)인 포스트 몇 가지를 다시 살펴보겠다.

패니메이(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>)와 프레디맥(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) 주가는 월요일(30일) 오후 억만장자 투자자 빌 애크먼이<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42635629/bill-ackmans-advice-stay-away-from-shorting-stocks-avoid-commodity-sensitive-industries-and-you-do-great" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 소셜 미디어에서 이들 주식을 선전</a>한 이후 급등했다.
자세한 내용: 퍼싱 스퀘어(Pershing Square) 헤지펀드의 CEO인 빌 애크먼은 소셜 미디어 플랫폼 엑스(X)에 올린 <a href="//x.com/BillAckman/status/1873818034428694837"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">게시물에서</a> "상승과 하락이 비대칭적으로 큰" 투자 종목으로 패니메이와 프레디맥을 추천했다.
애크먼은 패니메이와 프레디맥이 향후 2년 내에 정부의 관리체제(conservatorship)에서 벗어날 가능성이 있다고 하면서 차기 트럼프 행정부의 출범을 주요 요인으로 꼽았다.

패니메이와 프레디맥은 2008년 금융 위기 당시 주택 시장 악화로 인해 2008년 9월에 정부 관리체제로 전환되었다. 연방주택금융청은 자산을 보존 및 관리하고 주택 및 모기지 시장에 안정을 제공하기 위해 관리인이 되었다.
빌 애크먼은 이 회사들이 2019년 이후 1,680억 달러의 자본을 구축했으며, 이를 "신용도가 높은 중산층 차입자에 대한 고정금리 1차 모기지 보증인을 위한 요새 수준의 자본"이라고 설명했다.
그는 각 회사의 가치를 주당 약 34달러로 추산한다면서 2026년 4분기에 기업공개(IPO)가 가능하다고 추정했다. 그리고 IPO 가격이 주당 약 31달러로 책정된 것은 가치 대비 10% 할인된 것으로 본다고 덧붙였다.
또한 연방 정부의 관리체제가 종료되면 얻을 수 있는 이점으로 약 8조 달러의 부채를 제거하고 3,000억 달러 이상의 수익을 창출할 수 있는 잠재력 등을 지적했다.
"트럼프는 대규모 거래를 좋아하고 이것은 역사상 가장 큰 거래가 될 것이다. 나는 그가 해낼 것이라고 확신한다.&#8221;
FNMA, FMCC 주가 움직임: 월요일 패니메이 주가는 36.14% 상승한 3.39달러에, 프레디맥 주가는 33.87% 상승한 3.32달러에 마감했다.
