Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, better known as Farmer Mac, boosts credit supply for US agriculture and rural infrastructure by taking over, securitizing or holding agricultural and infrastructure loans from banks. This provides lenders with additional liquidity and enables new loans to farmers, agricultural businesses and utilities. The strong growth comes as rural areas continue to face high financing needs. » Altro su finanzen.net

Farmer Mac recorded a record business volume of $34.8bn in Q1 2026 and core EPS of $4.74, beating expectations, while revenue fell slightly short of forecasts. The company benefited from broad diversification, strong growth in infrastructure/renewable energy and a refinancing advantage versus AAA competitors.
