KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Radian Mortgage Capital Trust 2025-J3 (RMCT 2025-J3)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 65 classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from Radian Mortgage Capital Trust 2025-J3 (RMCT 2025-J3), which is backed by prime mortgages with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $374.0 million as of the July 1, 2025 cut-off date. The pool comprises 398 first-lien, fixed rate residential mortgage loans. The weighted average original credit score is 774, which is in line with the prime mortgage credit score range. The underlying collateral consists of both prime jumbo (76.4%) and agency-eligible (23.6%) loans.

KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its Residential Asset Loss Model (REALM), an examination of the results from third-party loan file due diligence, cash flow modeling analysis of the transaction’s payment structure, reviews of key transaction parties and an assessment of the transaction’s legal structure and documentation. This analysis is further described in our U.S. RMBS Rating Methodology.
