Stream 2026-2 consumer loan ABS

Highlights

KBRA assigned ratings to four note classes totaling $255.63 million from Stream Innovations 2026-2, backed by consumer loans for home improvements.
Receivables at the September 14, 2026 cutoff date stood at $172.72 million, with expected collateral of $274.72 million after three months' prefunding.
Credit enhancement features include overcollateralization, junior note class subordination except for Class D, a cash reserve at closing, and excess spread.

Transaction structure and rating basis

As reported by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, the ratings cover four classes of notes issued by Stream Innovations 2026-2 Issuer Trust, an asset-backed securitization backed by a pool of consumer loans for home improvements.

The notes total $255.63 million. As of the September 14, 2026 cutoff date, the transaction includes about $172.72 million of receivables, with an expected collateral balance of $274.72 million after the three-month prefunding period.

Credit enhancement for the notes consists of overcollateralization, subordination of junior note classes, except for the Class D notes, a cash reserve account funded at closing, and excess spread. KBRA says these protections support the assigned ratings across the capital structure.
