Farmer Mac (AGM) Valuation Check After Appointing Matthew Pullins as New CFO and EVP-Treasurer

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Federal Agricultural Mortgage (AGM) just reshuffled its finance leadership, naming Matthew M. Pullins as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Treasurer. This move could subtly reshape how investors think about Farmer Mac’s risk and growth profile.

See our latest analysis for Federal Agricultural Mortgage.

The timing of Pullins’ appointment comes as Farmer Mac’s 30 day share price return of 11.47% has started to claw back some of the 3 month share price pullback of 6.24%. Its 5 year total shareholder return of 197.04% still points to strong long term value creation.

If this kind of leadership shift has you rethinking your portfolio mix, it could be worth scouting fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a way to uncover the next set of compelling ideas.

With shares still trading at a notable discount to analyst targets but recent returns turning choppy, is Farmer Mac quietly undervalued after the pullback, or is the market already pricing in its next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 18.3% Undervalued

Compared to the last close of $184.54, the most followed narrative sees meaningful upside in Federal Agricultural Mortgage’s fair value, anchored to multi year growth assumptions.

Expansion into renewable energy, broadband, and infrastructure finance is driving significant new business volume and higher spreads, positioning Farmer Mac to benefit from increasing demand for financing related to sustainability and rural connectivity initiatives, which should support revenue and earnings growth going forward.
