Can you believe this?
Apparently, they are banking ridiculous coin and rumors are swirling they may reinstate a divvy. I must be dreaming.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FMCC) seeing sharp gains over the past few days (0.66 +0.15)
FNMA is +127% since 3/14 and FMCC is +103% over the same period. The move follows news that Fannie Mae filed to delay its annual report (10-K) but said it expects to report significant net income for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2012.FNMA delayed its 10-K due to the need for additional time to analyze whether conditions existed as of December 31, 2012 that would require Fannie Mae to release any portion of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2012. The release of the valuation allowance would have a material impact on the company’s 2012 financial statements and result in a significant dividend payment to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the terms of the Variable Liquidation Preference Senior Preferred Stock, Series 2008-2.
Fannie said that if they conclude the valuation allowance should not be released in the fourth quarter of 2012, they will continue to evaluate the need for the valuation allowance in future periods. The valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets was $64.1 billion as of December 31, 2011 and $61.5 billion as of September 30, 2012.
Importantly, FNMA said that regardless of the decision to release or not release the valuation allowance, it expects to report significant net income for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with a net loss of $2.4 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and a net loss of $16.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Yeah, Freddie is back too.
