Will Freddie Mac stock split?
When it comes to potential stock splits, you can never say never. But in Freddie Mac's case, there is no IPO scheduled, so you can probably say a split won't happen any time soon.
Stock splits are generally announced to make investments in a company more attractive by reducing the per-share price. Most publicly traded companies don't begin to consider splitting their stock until prices top $100 -- and as of early May 2025, Freddie Mac's share prices are about $98.50 short of that particular benchmark.
Having said that, Freddie Mac has split its stock before. Its board authorized a 3-for-1 split in April 1992 and a 4-for-1 split in January 1997.
The bottom line on investing in Freddie Mac
Freddie Mac began its plunge into penny stock-level territory in late 2007. By late 2011, its stock traded at roughly $0.20 per share. Prices have bobbed along fairly close to either side of the $1 range, falling to as low as $0.40 but rebounding to almost $6.50 in early 2025 on rumors that a new White House administration might privatize the GSE.
