I take it you're just learning, a couple of quick things.

1. a revenue beat just means the CFO managed analyst expectations well, it doesn't mean actual growth. look at their revenue growth, it's been an anemic 1.2% for the past 5y

2. their balance sheet is not built for safety, though the trend is good (have been consistently building equity over recent years). that said, their cash flow statement looks awful

3. government involvement is a huge question mark. when the shareholder isn't the 1st in line, your stock will usually have a lid on its potential

I'm not saying the stock can't do well, I'm saying your perspective on its financials may be off. "beats" are not indicative of health, they're indicative of analysts' expectations, and IIRC, analysts are accurate less than 50% of the time so that in and of itself is not the best rationale for wanting to buy a stock.

the other question is what is the catalyst that makes FNMA outperform its peers over whatever timeframe you're investing for? is it a multiple re-rating, acquisition, end of conservatorship, what? companies don't have their shares skyrocket just because of a few analyst beats and 1.2% revenue growth, gotta be something else.

"Based on our above analysis, we rate FNMA stock as a HOLD for now. However, several more quarters of sustained and robust growth in the U.S. Housing market, as well as continued strengthening of FNMA's credit profile may cause FNMA stock to rate as a BUY."

I've only been around two people that really shit their pants and both were in college (military school). 

The first time, we (freshman in military school) were all in the church after a meeting/service waiting for the upperclassmen who were pounding on the door, making their presence known they were coming for us soon. Our time was up. One of my classmates shit his pants in that moment and he will always be remembered as the guy who shit his pants that year. No one will ever forget it. 

The other time I was a senior and told the freshman in my company before a PT session that we were going to run 'until you shit your pants'. I told them if anyone fell out of this run, their classmates would have to pay for it. So no one fell out. Then, this one kid couldn't run anymore and shit his pants running. He stopped and almost collapsed, but stayed conscious. I almost got in trouble for this. Someone called an ambulance and he went to the hospital. I gotta give him credit though, he ran until he shit his pants and we will all remember that day.

To add to what others have said, this is finance 101: the intrinsic value of your stock price is the present value of future cash flows. All Fannie Mae cash flows get swept into the U.S. Treasury, so investors have no right to cash flows; therefore, the stock is basically worthless. The only reason it isn't zero is because there is a chance investors could win a legal challenge to the conservatorship and then be entitled to a decade of prior cash flows.
