Have Fannie Mae's shares ever split?
Fannie Mae's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 15 January 1996. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fannie Mae shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fannie Mae shares which in turn could have impacted Fannie Mae's share price.
