Fannie, Freddie $30 Billion IPO Being Weighed for This Year

The Trump administration is considering selling shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in an offering that could start as early as this year, according to senior administration officials.

The plan could value the government-controlled mortgage giants at some $500 billion or more and would involve selling between 5% and 15% of their stock with an offering expected to raise about $30 billion.
