Fannie Mae stock quote and trading status
Fannie Mae’s investor relations site lists current and historical stock information for FNMA common stock and identifies the shares as OTCQB-traded. The company’s stock quote page also notes that market data are delayed by at least 15 minutes. For the week of March 23, 2026, the page showed the stock closed at $5.56 on March 23, $5.50 on March 24, $5.38 on March 25, $4.94 on March 26, and $4.86 on March 27. The same page showed an intraday high of $5.00 and an intraday low of $4.55 on March 27.
The official stock information page is also consistent with Fannie Mae’s broader investor relations materials, which describe the company as being under conservatorship. That status matters because Fannie Mae is not a typical listed financial stock and does not trade on a major U.S. exchange in the same way as a bank or mortgage lender. Instead, its common stock has remained on the over-the-counter market while policy decisions and regulatory developments continue to shape investor interest.
February 2026 monthly summary
On March 26, 2026, Fannie Mae announced that its February 2026 monthly summary was available. The company said the report contains monthly and year-to-date information about its gross mortgage portfolio, mortgage-backed securities and other guarantees, interest rate risk measures, and serious delinquency rates. The company’s investor relations page also labels the report as the February 2026 monthly summary.
Fannie Mae did not include any broader market commentary in that announcement. The release was presented as a routine investor update rather than a statement about capital plans, exchange listing changes, or conservatorship changes. The company’s news page listed the February summary among its recent releases, alongside prior monthly summaries and other corporate updates.
Conservatorship remains the central backdrop
Fannie Mae says on its investor relations page that it has been under conservatorship, with the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency acting as conservator, since September 6, 2008. The same page notes a senior preferred stock purchase agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, under which Treasury committed to provide funding under specified circumstances.
That long-running government control continues to define the stock’s profile. Reuters reported in January 2025 that the Treasury Department and the FHFA had amended their agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to help ensure that any eventual exit from conservatorship would not be disruptive. Reuters also reported that the agencies said they would seek public comments before either government-sponsored enterprise was released from federal control.
Reuters reported later in May 2025 that Trump said on Truth Social he was working on taking the companies public, while Bill Pulte, then director of the FHFA, said the administration was considering how the businesses could continue to gain value over time. Reuters said the regulator was expected to play a central role in any move to return the pair to the private sector.
Market interest in FNMA continues
Even without a major exchange listing, Fannie Mae stock remains heavily watched by investors because of its policy significance and its role in the U.S. housing finance system. Reuters has noted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back the majority of the nation’s residential mortgages. Their shares have been sensitive to changes in government policy, Treasury-FHFA actions, and public remarks from officials.
In recent market reporting, Fannie Mae shares have been described as moving sharply when investors react to privatization-related headlines. Reuters reported in January 2025 that Fannie Mae shares surged to multi-year highs after the Treasury and FHFA disclosed their framework, with Fannie’s shares last up 24.4% at $4.23 in that session. Reuters later reported that shares rose again in May 2025 after Trump said he was working on taking the companies public.
Current status
The company-published quote and investor updates available on March 30, 2026, Fannie Mae’s common stock remains an OTCQB-traded security, the company remains under federal conservatorship, and the latest quoted close on the company’s stock page was $4.86 on March 27. The newest company disclosure on the matter was the February 2026 monthly summary released on March 26.
