The Federal National Mortgage Association, better known as Fannie Mae, is a government-sponsored enterprise based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1938 during the Great Depression, it keeps the US housing market moving by buying mortgages from lenders and packaging them into securities for investors. This frees up cash so lenders can then offer more loans. Led by CEO Priscilla Almodovar, Fannie Mae trades as FNMA on the OTC market.

Valuing Federal National Mortgage Association stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Federal National Mortgage Association's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Federal National Mortgage Association's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.3. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

We're not expecting Federal National Mortgage Association to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Federal National Mortgage Association's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 15 January 1996 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Federal National Mortgage Association shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Federal National Mortgage Association shares which in turn could have impacted Federal National Mortgage Association's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Federal National Mortgage Association's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.02 up to $8. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (OTCQB average) beta is 1, while Federal National Mortgage Association's is 1.723. This would suggest that Federal National Mortgage Association's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
