Bull case
GSEs earn $25B+/yr. At release, financial firms trade 15–20x. Even with 80% dilution, common stock has multi-bagger potential. Trump admin is motivated — releasing unlocks $300B+ for Treasury.
Bear case
Maximum 20-to-1 warrant exercise wipes common upside. Political gridlock delays exit indefinitely. Capital requirements could reduce distributable earnings. Congress could eliminate common equity.
Key variable
Dilution is everything. No-dilution target is ~$190/share at 15x; max-dilution lands ~$13/share. How warrants get exercised — and whether common holders get any concessions — is the whole game.
