Fannie Mae share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fannie Mae's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$2.96 up to US$12.39. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Fannie Mae's is 1.685. This would suggest that Fannie Mae's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Fannie Mae share dividends
We're not expecting Fannie Mae to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Fannie Mae's shares ever split?
Fannie Mae's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 16 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.
