Shares of Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC), a government-sponsored enterprise conducting business in the U.S. residential mortgage market, are soaring in trading today.
At last check, FMCC shares were trading 19.16% higher at $0.283 on above average volume of 7.99 million.
FMCC shares are soaring after the company announced its second-quarter financial results.

The company reported comprehensive income of $2.9 billion for the second quarter, compared to comprehensive income of $1.8 billion reported for the first quarter.
CEO Donald H. Layton said that FMCC’s commitment to helping homeowners enabled 5.9 million borrowers to refinance or avoid foreclosure since the financial crisis began. Layton said that FMCC’s work continued during the second quarter, as it helped more than 350,000 families take advantage of historically low interest rates and an additional 40,000 avoid foreclosures, and at the same time, FMCC’s financial results enabled the company to avoid an additional draw from the U.S. Treasury, despite paying a $1.8 billion cash dividend to U.S. taxpayers.
