US: WSJ: Trump Admin Preparing To Sell Stock In Fannie/Freddie Later This Year

Aug-08 15:30

(Wall Street Journal) -- "The Trump administration is preparing to sell stock in mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in an offering it believes could raise around $30 billion and kick off later this year, according to people familiar with the matter."

  • "The plans being discussed by some administration officials could value the companies at roughly $500 billion or more combined and involve selling between 5% and 15% of their stock, some of the people said. Still up for debate is whether the mortgage giants would IPO as one company or two separate entities".
  • "The CEOs of six large banks -- Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Bank of America -- traveled to D.C. in recent weeks to meet with President Trump to discuss potential plans for Fannie and Freddie" .
