Freddie Mac Q2 Profit Soars 61% on Credit Reserve Release, Net Interest Income Growth
FMCC sits 66% above its 52-week low of $3.4.
Summary
Freddie Mac's Q2 net income jumped 61% to $3.84 billion, driven by a credit reserve release versus a build last year. Net interest income rose 13% to $6 billion, fueled by multifamily strategy changes and single-family portfolio growth. New single-family business activity climbed to $110 billion from $94 billion on higher refinance activity. This follows the 10-Q and 8-K filed earlier today, adding color on revenue drivers and business volumes. The strong earnings and improving housing activity signal robust operational momentum despite rising mortgage rates.
