Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares plunged to a 14-month low, extending a 70% decline over six months amid waning confidence in the Trump administration’s privatization plans. Investors question the viability of selling more public stock in the mortgage giants after a 2025 offering failed to materialize, despite earlier optimism. The steep decline began in mid-September 2025 when hopes for a public listing peaked but collapsed as no concrete action followed. Market skepticism grows over the administration’s ability to execute the long-delayed privatization, further eroding shareholder trust. The drop reflects broader uncertainty about the future of government-sponsored mortgage enterprises under shifting political priorities.
