SLM Corporation has recently experienced notable developments impacting its stock.

The House budget plan, proposing significant cuts in higher education funding, could further influence the market dynamics. SLM’s recent earnings call highlighted strong loan origination growth, improved credit quality, and a strategic capital return strategy, despite challenges like a decline in net interest margin and earnings per share falling slightly below guidance.
