Freddie Mac is trading 14.91% up at $3.93 on October 23, 2026, with coverage linking the share surge to Bill Ackman’s call for the Trump administration to release Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from conservatorship before its term ends.
- A Wedbush Outperform rating and $6 price target from the previous session may also support investor interest.
- Ackman’s comments were the clearest reported catalyst for the move.
