Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares surged over 7% following a favorable court ruling and comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about potential changes to their ownership structure. However, investor Michael Burry sold his common shares earlier, citing poor prospects, and instead bought junior preferred stock, which has a stronger claim in any recapitalization. The court ruling benefits some shareholders but excludes common stockholders, who face dilution risks if Treasury converts its senior preferred stake into common shares. The next key developments include a possible Supreme Court decision and Treasury's future plans for its stake.
